The Monster Without

The Monster Without

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

He is in search for the darkest cave

Where he can hide away

Like the pain echoing off his chest cavity.

Built to be without feeling,

But was given a defective heart

That drips with loneliness.

The visible scars are nothing

Compared to the ones humanity

Has tattooed on his soul.

His hope to cover those marks

From being stitched together

Are thwarted by all the plastic surgeons

That say they are not miracle workers

And can never make him a whole person within.

Longing for nothing more than to be normal

When standing in a crowd

Has been his lifelong dream,

That is why the monster will have to do without

Living in my nightmares,

For I have long since rejected society’s standards,

Making it my Frankenstein's monster.

"To thine own self be true" comes to mind while reading this ultra short novella that could become a self portrait in words. As usual the master took pen in hand and deftly points out society is the monster that torments and labels anyone that is different or does not live up to its expectations. The heart of your gentle monster is whole, society's heart suffers an irregular beat that only becomes steady when it is self serving for the masses. How scarred we have become.

Thank you very much.
i see beauty in the scars, they tell a story about who we are and where we've been, there is beauty in the plan too . . . and the path we are on gets clearer every day

love to you and yours

Thank you Emily… much appreciate your thoughts

Same to you.
Many ppl long to fit in and fill the void of loneliness. Outside scars are easier to brave than the ones Thatcher within. Great write.

Thank you very much, your positive feedback brightened my day.
I swear. Some people.

I find "deformities" attractive. I love when I meet someone who's different from the rest.

Frankenstein. Love him.

Good write. (:
