"ROAR"
by Becky Hemsley
As children we’re convinced
That monsters hide beneath our beds
But as adults we soon realise
That they walk the streets instead
It’s their loathing and their lies
For it isn’t how they look -
The monster’s who they are inside
And at first we tiptoe round them
Terrified to make a noise
But slowly, very surely
We are bound to find our voice
But as fear gives way to anger
And our loathing multiplies
We start becoming monstrous
And we think we’re justified
But flames won’t put out fire
Water will not halt a flood
And we cannot stop the monsters
By behaving as they would
You see, anyone that’s ever
Loved somebody else before
Knows no matter how much hate we feel
Love always matters more
So though you’re brave to fight them
And your courage makes you tough
Don’t fight them out of hate
But to protect the things you love
And when life gets too scary
Promise me you will make sure
That you won’t become a monster
But you’ll still learn how to roar
