What If?

You shouldn't be scared of what's inside your own head,

But what if, what's in my head, it's terrifying?

Shouldn't I be scared then?

What if everything in my head screams and screeches?

You shouldn't hate what's inside your own head,

But what if everything in my head is revolting?

Shouldn't I hate the hateful?

What if all I know irks me every minute I think?

You shouldn't have monsters inside your own head,

But what if they've been there all your life?

Shouldn't I leave them be?

What if they'll stop their abuse and begin to love?

I know I shouldn't be scared, hate, and house monsters,

But what if I can't help myself?

Shouldn't I do what I please?

What if being scared, hating, and housing makes me who I am?

What then?
