Monsters And Men

There’s something to be said for seeing through the masks people wear. When the truth comes to light, what’s left behind? Have you ever felt like the watcher, not the fool?


I see the human in you—oh, I do,
All your vices, and sins, laid bare in full view.
Yet still, I find that human trace,
While you ignore the monster’s face.

You think I’m blind to the tricks you play,
To all the sly words and games you sway,
Trying to keep me small, under your thumb,
But honey, I’ve seen the places you’re from.

You feel so free to “be yourself,”
Let your demons roam and make themselves felt,
While I watch, amused, at your bold display,
As you pretend I’m clueless prey.

But I’m not the fool you think I am,
I see through each carefully crafted sham.
You who act so noble and pure—
But I’ve seen your kind, that’s for sure.

Oh, keep spinning your tangled thread,
The webs of lies you’ve so carefully spread.
I see the human, the beast, and the act,
And I smile, knowing all that you lack.

So go ahead, wear that saintly disguise,
But now—I’m watching, and I’m wise.
You think I’m harmless, trapped and small—
But, darling, I’m the monster who sees it all.


We all wear masks, but sometimes it’s the ones who seem most innocent who hide the darkest parts. Have you ever caught a glimpse of the truth beneath?

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Until Noon

I can feel the distance, But my body craves you. I am howling at the moon, Hoping you love me until noon. It’s winter, and everyone is covering up, But I will drop every single layer for you. Will you make the bedpost creak? Like the way we break our Duolingo streak? Or will you be my Count, And leave your marks on my neck? Will you drink away my life force, Or give me your immortal kiss? Who would care about saving it for daylight? We are creatures of this starry night. Will you save me with your sword, Be my Guinevere’s Sir Lancelot ? These boys keep talking about getting high at the pub. Would you do me the honour of the Mile High Club? Will you track my curves like an F1 circuit? Or be like kids fighting over the gully cricket? Come get me, while the night is still young, And we erase the distance with our tongues.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.
