MONSTERS

BY DOROTHEA LASKY

This is a world where there are monsters

There are monsters everywhere, racoons and skunks

There are possums outside, there are monsters in my bed.

There is one monster. He is my little one.

I talk to my little monster.

I give my little monster some bacon but that does not satisfy him.

I tell him, ssh ssh, don’t growl little monster!

And he growls, oh boy does he growl!

And he wants something from me,

He wants my soul.

And finally giving in, I give him my gleaming soul

And as he eats my gleaming soul, I am one with him

And stare out his eyepits and I see nothing but white

And then I see nothing but fog and the white I had seen before was nothing but fog

And there is nothing but fog out the eyes of monsters.

Lost in the Milky Way

Some of us are like trees that grow with a spiral grain as if prepared for the path of the spirit's journey to the world of all souls.

Pitigrilli, Dino Segre
The common man contemplates,
the sage is silent,
the fool discusses.

One Piece, Rufy
I will pursue my dream until I have reached it.
And if I had to die to do it,
I would do it with a smile on my lips.

NOBODY IS YOU
THAT'S YOUR POWER

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”

“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up”

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters to what lies within us.

NOBODY IS YOU
THAT'S YOUR POWER
