BLAM

When Jared was eight, he met his Monster

He loved it, and the Monster loved him

When Jared was sad, his Monster cheered him

When Jared was mad, his enemies feared him

Jared continued to grow, his Monster with him

But a young man with a Monster, doesn’t have many friends

Jared explained as best could

Said he wanted to try and fit in the best he could

Monster made Jared promise that they’d still play

Once or twice a year, to keep Monster at bay

But Monster did not like being alone

Got meaner and meaner as Jared would grow

Monster hated the people that took his place

Wanted to eat them alive, savor every taste

Jared refused to let Monster feed

He locked away Monster for his hatred and greed

Monster would cry and tell Jared not to go

That the people don’t know him like Monster did know

Jared agreed and said as he locked Monster in

It must be this way if I’m to fit in
