I'm half monster.
Living in a jackal and hide world of a father's imposter.
In fear of that half coming out
I am left without.
Who am I?
Can I distinguish why?
Will anger entice me?
Will feelings precise me?

I'm half of my father.
I can't punish my child in fear of going to far.
I can't change him without feeling dirty by a hidden scar.
He made me!
He hated me!
He's my parent.
He's my serpent.

I'm half monster!
He's a monster.
I wish I knew where I fit.
Half and half I am split.
My brothers followed his steps.
I am a misstep.
I wasn't supposed to be.
Can I get rid of this monster inside of me?

But I am under

In the dark evil monsters are lurking,
Nocturnal creatures with glowing eyes.

They stalk their prey late at night,
