Remember when monsters used to be under your bed?

Then, as you slowly got older and more aware of the world, you began to realize that monsters, in reality, were people who smiled in your face every day but were simultaneously plotting to chew you up and spit you out?

Every day, your innocent, musical-like illusion of how the world works began to shatter into infinitesimal smithereens that you could never piece back together. Day after day, the monsters became less subliminal as their tails began to show and you no longer felt like you were dealing with people in your same age, because their level of cruelty and disregard was unfathomable. As you continued to develop as a person, you wondered what it was about yourself that was so undesirable, that only those who loved you unconditionally were in your corner.
