When you meet a Monster (Poem)
-
NB: Struggling with a horrible monster who messaged me recently. Its caused me great fear, its had me wondering if I should delete my website… Its left me scared and feeling vulnerable. Of all the Monsters I have ever met, this one is the most terrifying of all.
When you meet a Monster
When you meet a Monster
Your life is forever changed,
A Monsters never leaves you
They haunt your every thoughtAfter meeting a monster…
You look over your shoulder a lot
Afraid that they will catch you
And chew your soul right up.I wish with all my heart
These monsters would go away
But they just don’t…
They never leave…
Always surrounding you with fear.Sometimes you think you have outrun them
That at last you are finally safe
But then when all is calm and quiet
They show their terrible fangs.Just go away
Please go away
Leave me alone
Monsters should stay in the past
That’s where they belong.

Be brave and tell the monster to go away. Most of the time that seems to work for me. Writing this poem about it can also be a very empowering act. I hope you feel better and less scared soon.
Monsters, Sponsters, icky yikky sticky things! Oh how I hate those greenie, eenie, squeamy things!
Oh Maddy my wonderfully talented friend, I am so proud of you and of how brave you are. I am so glad you stared that monster in the eye and told it to leave you alone 🙂
Please never ever let anyone make you think you have to run and hide and never ever delete your wonderful website, it gives so much pleasure to so many people, it teaches people and reaches peoples hearts and souls.
Next time such evil comes to you and you think you are all alone, just smile and remember all the hundreds of comments you have on your website and imagine us all standing there wth you as you tell that monster once and for all ‘BE GONE!
