beware of the monsters who dwell in the mind,
who grow in the shelter of shadows they find
beware of the demons who hide from the light,
who only survive when our spirits lose sight
those creatures can thrive when our knowledge is low;
they fill in the spaces of what we don't know
beware of the monsters that cause us to hate
to strike out in anger when we can't relate
for ignorance darkens the mind and the heart
and helps all our monsters to tear us apart
but learning and thinking will strengthen us
so don't be the places where the monsters can grow
