"Children fear Monsters.
Monsters with their sharp claws out to get your ankles, wanting to drag you down under the bottom of your bed, so you rush and jump onto your bed in fright.
Monsters inside your closet, watching you as you cower in fear, shivering and hiding beneath your safety blanket, you can just feel their glowing, yellow eyes piercing you,
Monsters waiting outside your house, their claws scratching against your windows, wanting to get in, you can just imagine their creepy, bloody teeth grinning down at you outside the windows."
"Adults don't fear the monsters under their bed, inside their closet, or outside their windows.
Children grew up, and their monsters have, as well.
Adults fear monsters.
Adults fear the monsters inside their mind, the ones that claw at their psyche, cackling in glee as they shred your mentality, casting doubt and insanity.
Adults fear monsters inside their hearts, their harsh whispers spreading lies and sprouting doubt from deep within, causing you deep insecurity.
Adults fear monsters inside their mirrors, their twisted grins, their pointing fingers, their hateful words, their sharp, harsh laughter resounding as their desire to bring you down becomes stronger. Their words getting louder and louder, their smiles twisting and morphing into something beyond this world as their voices start to shriek to the heavens.
"You're too fat, just like a COW!"
"You're too thin, do you even eat? Anorexic."
"You're too stupid, you fail every test! Retard!"
"You can't even lift or run properly, weakass."
"You're doomed, you'll never accomplish anything in life."
"You're too useless, you'll never become anyone important."
"You're too ugly to find anyone, you'll die ALONE."
"No one will ever love you."
Adults don't fear monsters like children do.
Adults fear something far worse...
They fear themselves.
They became the monsters they feared."
