Fae Corps Publishing Pad Challenge Day 8

2026 PAD Challenge Day 8

Here’s My response:

I see the rage monster 
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster

And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...

Monday Poetry

I don’t often talk about my poetry, preferring to leave the interpretation to the reader. However, This one hurt. writing it was the most painful piece I have ever done. The piece that inspired it was posted by a friend on Facebook. and I shall post it here so I am not alone.
