The Monsters Are Real
by Anpu's Crone
Alone in the Darkness of a Grade school class
Alone in the Darkness of a school playground
Alone in the Darkness of a family dinner table
Alone with the monsters of cruelty and hate
Alone with the Demons of a mothers glazed over eyes
Alone with the hatred of teachers and students family and neighbors
Alone and afraid an empaths curse
Childhood innocence shattered with a million adult demons taking form in my head
Rejection and abuse, torment and pain
Suicide, murder,molestation and rape
Alone in the Darkness a new form takes shape
A Black Dog growls Demons take flight
“What do you fear? What gives you peace”
“Take me with you” I say “before it’s to late. I am losing the battle, I am beginning to hate”
Dark arms enfold me a dark Mother’s embrace. Star speckled night holds me tight
“I need you here My Child can’t you see …the monsters are real they are devouring souls”
“I am only one what can I do …”
“Be patient, be kind, lead them to me”
And so it began this Mystery
At Home in the Darkness I wait for you
At home in the Darkness speckled with light
At home in the Darkness I see past my pain
At home in the Darkness where the demons are real
At home in the Darkness evil transformed
At home in the Darkness I reach out to you
Together in the vastness our souls burn bright
There is nothing to fear, no one to hate
Be gentle, be kind, forgive and spread peace
The Dark Mother is with us Her Royal Child our guide
In pain and poverty in a world full of hate
The Black Dog will lead us until it is time
To be with Him in the vastness our souls filled with Love
The Monsters are real I have always known them
