Monsters At Heart Poem by Hell 'Farya

This poem tells the story of a bird of prey, that begins in a state of peaceful observation, perched quietly on a branch. However, this tranquil scene soon gives way as the bird ventures into the unknown realm of a dream or vision. Within this dream state, the bird is suddenly jolted awake by a startling noise. Gripped by fear, the bird's feathers ruffle and its heart races as it perceives a threat from an unseen predator. The bird's heightened senses and instinctual panic was captured, as the darkness envelops it and its pupils constrict in terror. Yet this state of intense inner turmoil is revealed to be just a product of the bird's own dream-world imaginings. As the bird's 'lid slowly opens to the light, ' it realizes that the monsters it was facing were not actual external threats, but rather the manifestations of its own subconscious fears and anxieties. With this realization, the bird is able to break free from the branch and take flight, 'tweeting and soaring. (The use of the pronoun 'HE' in this poem is a metaphor that is used to explore the universal human experience of confronting and overcoming one's own inner demons) .
