There was once a boy where
The monster grew.
The boy was at home and safe
He was young and always uneasy.
Dark shadows crept in
Corneres at first then a whole
Wall.
He was at home and no longer
Safe.
The boy looked beyond his box
Where he lived, at home, and uneasy.
The boy was not safe.
The boy saw his shadows and hid
Them.
Brightly at times the boy would
Hide in plane sight.
Deep inside the boy was uneasy.
Uncomfortable with himself.
With this “boy”.
Brightly shining in plane sight this “boy”
Was uneasy.
Brightly shining was the monster,
This “boy”
And they didn’t know how to hide
The shadows any longer.
They wrapped themselves away from
This “boy”
Swadeled in warm shadow.
This monster breathed easy for a time
Safely hidden away, at home, and safe.
Warmly wrapped at home in shadow
Hidden from this “boy”.
*Breathe Deep*
This monster peered from their cocoon
Seeing the withered husk of
This “boy”.
Breaking the walls of shadow this
”monster” steps forward.
Trembeling, this “boy” yields.
This “monster” stooping low, swallows up
This “boy” making them whole.
Not this boy, nor this monster,
But this human
Brightly shining in the sun.
