The Tale of The Beautiful Monster
(Concieved 12/15/09)

I know I'm a monster,
People stop and stare.
Though I try to ignore them,
They are always there.

In reality and in my dreams,
I may be scary
And that's what it seems.
But my burdens I must carry.
Through thick and through thin.
My heart is getting heavy,
But the names will never end.

Then you come by,
You strange little creature,
And make my heart fly.
You make me a seeker
For the beautiful monster inside.

I no longer fear.
I no longer hurt.
You taught me how,
To make this all work.

Now when they see
A monster in need,
They think of my life,
And all of my strife,
As I rose to the top without fear.

Now through the years,
