Monster

Hollow eye's
Soul-less, some would say.
Straight ahead
Look forward
Away from...
Before.
You were only supposed to be a silent spot—
Empty.
Hollow eye's
Soul-less, some would say.
Them
Us
It wasn't always
We
Monster's aren't born this way
They were monster's
We were monster's to them...
Everyone saw
But no one spoke....
Truth.
Everyone was afraid
So many would not dare.
But some did.
Dare.
And then
Still
Hallow eye's
Soul-less, some would say.

And then
Still
Alive eye's
Soulful center
Curious hearts
Brave beings
Kind souls
Whole and bright children of God.
