THE REAL MONSTERS

Every father would like to defend his children from all the evil that exists, but in reality monsters exist, they buzz around us even if in the guise of Friend they are precisely the ones who sometimes lead you down the wrong path, they initiate you into the vice that be it drugs, alcohol or violence and then there is also the monster you go to bed with every night who sometimes decides to beat you just because you don’t want to give in because the Love is no longer there or has never been there and also if he doesn’t beat you he scars your heart and lynches your soul and he knows that you’re not in love, but you had to marry him.
When I was little, my father used to tell me that he was coming to eat the food that I, Agulero, didn’t want to eat, and he often told me stories of Agulero (the black monster) and sometimes I was afraid of him, even though my father told me in the end that monsters didn’t exist.
That monsters didn’t already exist was wonderful, my dad said it and he didn’t tell any lies;
but I was little and I was often afraid of it.
Now I think that monsters do not live in the dark, but have a beautiful face and smile at us while with a bad heart they pierce us with words so violent that they tear your Essence and tear it to shreds without mercy.
I understood when I was older that things are never that simple,
when I was little I covered my head with a sheet, when you grow up there is no sheet that can hold you have to face the beast and if you lack courage you just have to have the strength to fight and not allow it to scratch your soul like all monsters do who smile with their faces and with their hearts inflict blows to the back with the violence of a tornado.
You fight it every day and many times behind the smile there is a sharp blade;
It doesn’t leave wounds, but it hurts a lot…
There is no difference whether it is a man or a woman, they are just monsters and they are brutal in their ways.
Evil has no face, it’s just a type of violence that tears your skin even if no blood comes out.
We think that monsters lurk in the dark, but that’s not true:
Monsters look us straight in the face and smile at us.
