Monstruo

They call me a monster, those who look from afar
While I get used to the creature in the mirror
I'm afraid of the fear I perceive in their eyes
They run away from me and I hide in the bushes
I wish my footsteps didn't sound like thunder
Didn't forget the brakes or throw poison

I'm just a scared monster
With a body of sharp scales
Hidden in my cold cave
Where I live alone and in the dark

If I walk slowly, it's because of my baggage
If I only bark, it's because I was born wild
I'm too big to not be noisy
I don't know how to move without causing some damage
I wish they taught me how to file my fangs
To heal my knuckles, to sew my pockets

I'm just a scared monster
With a body of sharp scales
Hidden in my cold cave
Where I live alone and in the dark
