Frankenstein

Who isn't Dr. Frankenstein?
Who hasn't
Created a monster?
I do not believe
That anyone is free
From this fate

Whether you know it
or not
Whether you accept it
or not
You, too, have created
a monster

You've let loose in
this world
a creature so
ugly
that it's very presence
reviles all who see
it

But what can
you do with
this monster?
Turn away from it?
Pretend it is not your
own?

No, one must accept it
to be safe
One must understand it
to be at peace

And understand it
you will
And acccept it
you will

Whether now
or lifetimes from now
It will
no
it must be
Understood

And only then
You will know
It is not a monster

No
it is a shadow
Your shadow

And all these years
chasing it

And it was always
just your
shadow
