this is where we lie
broken and bruised
where we cannot run or hide
from the inevitable truth
of ourselves

this is where we lie
alone and defeated
all because
we could not trust

none of us were able to stand the monsters
they lurked in the shadows, but they were there;
you could feel the chill, hear the scream
but they weren't the ones that scared us
the monsters were physical
and we could see them;
we could not see ourselves...
