"HOW TO CATCH MONSTERS?"
“How do I catch monsters?”
I’m probably one of the many girls
who asks such a question.
They’re welcomed to wonder:
“Why do you wish to catch any monsters?
I mean, you’re a girl.”
Oh, I’m aware of what I am,
even as the world loves shooting me that reminder
including warning me of the danger
of trying to capture all the monsters on earth.
“Because I’m sick of being scared,”
I reason,
“even when the fight isn’t fair.
They may still hunt me down,
despite my hiding place,
even as I cover up my face.
They don’t just crave
for me or somebody else.
They just want to feel more powerful,
despite being cruel.”
I refuse to be hunted,
but they can try as far as they go.
These monsters will never stop,
and I know,
I can’t always get the protection
I’ve always been forced to obtain,
even when they know,
giving up my freedom is a pain …
