Evils Collide
One Shall Stand One Shall Fall
I am not the monster you think I am
I am the monster you wished I was
Once upon a time,
We belonged to each other
Back then I was a hero
Dying for the villain
But this now and now is new
I’m coming back to you
And when I get there
I won’t be the hero of this story
I will arrive so violently
That you regret ever wishing
For me to be a monster for you
When I’m back on shore
You will realize you never
Should have made me your castaway
Because now there’s the monster you are
And the monster you wished I would be
One shall stand, one shall fall.
It’s a long, long way down
To that place you rose up from
And don’t you realize, it’s like you said-
Darkness cannot be beaten,
Evil cannot be stopped
You of all people ought to know
What evils are inevitable
And when evils collide
One shall stand and one shall fall.
Thanks very much for reading this poem about monsters.
