Truth of self

Some say,
The sun rises
When the night is over
And we face what we couldn't see
Beneath veils of darkness
That shook our hearts
Is gone.

Instead,
I fear the day
I see the boogeyman
And he is more human than me
Beneath the fangs and claws
Are eyes like mine
-afraid-

The jackals roam in broad daylight, Juju, as you are aware of because you wrote about them. Among the jackals are those who seek cover and are . . . afraid.

Don't we all?
But how do we know the truth?
Self-analysis can be prejudice, one way
or the other.

Enjoyed your write and your use of
"The monster inside" parallel.
And, the day night contrast.

I've heard it said that everyone has a dark side, and this shows the truth: that we fear ourselves knowing that darkness exists within. Another work to come back to.

Very well structured and profound. There is surely this atavic fear that grips us when we can't find answers.

Love and once again, enjoy your special day!
