Past Imperfect

No matter
how fast
or how far
you run. . .
it is always there
with you
the Monster
under Your Bed

No amount of paint, or gloss, or shine
can cover its ugliness
No amount of cotton stuffed in your ears
can quell its howls
No amount of cologne and mouthwash
can soften the acrid odor it leaves
No protective clothing, no kevlar, no metal plates
can ward of its sharp points and edges

The Monster will still be there
until you
turn
and FACE it
and walk into the FEAR and PAIN

and as you open your eyes
you will discover that once faced
the power is lost
and you are
truly FREE . . . .
