The monster rises its weary head
It is the anger that we all dread
That dreadful fein that dwells within
Often heard and often seen

The monster has many forms
Hiding fear; and inwards storms
It can be hidden forever deep;
To hold it still; a mindless sleep

The monster rises its ugly head
You wanted praise; he is here instead
Flailing his tail back and fro
Ducking high and ducking low

He shows his teeth; sharp indeed
What he gives you, you don't need
His claws tighten around who you are
He is close; he is not far

His scales hide the pleasure within
No one here ; there is no win
Its skin is thick; beyond compare
To kill this monster; we do not dare

He lays within us all inside
Stalking there; we cannot hide
He changes who we are beneath
He causes pain; he causes grief

But there is one creature that can calm him down
Can tie him up; can make him frown
Can stop him in his fury stampede
It is something that we all need

Along she comes; all nice and calm
Forever needed; heals like balm
A slight pat on the monsters head
He simmers down; with a pillow and bed

What is this creature I am asked
Than can quell this monster; so very fast
Where is she; showing us good and fair
Why is she not always there?

She has eyes of gold and fairy dust
Sharing with us her inward trust
Pushing away the monstrous brute
While playing symphonies on her flute

Hiding beneath her smiling face
She has such beauty and such grace
Her violin is carefully tuned
Plucking songs that do not wound

Dancing merrily in her garden
waiting for her wings to harden
Who is this creature; this precious dove
For of course; it is but love
