Bullied

Fools,
they fed the
monster that will
ultimately end them.

They left it out
in the scolding
heat of a
brilliant summer

They chained it with
false beliefs and
impossible expectations

They kicked it and
starved it and
spit on it with
truculent defiance

Little did they know
that their ways were
more nutritious than
the leftovers they
threw inside its
cage.

Now
the monster is
strong enough to
fight back

They wont even
see it
coming.
