The monster

Yes I have heard of fairytales
With all the happy ends
Where princess' were rescued
And that became the trend
But what stayed with me the most
Were the monsters as they said
They were shady and gloomy
Or presented as such instead
Their stories stayed one sided
With the princess needing rescue
But why so seemingly ignorant
To the evil who needs that too
He needs to be saved
from that character he's been
Noone is shady by birth
But acquires from the losses and grim
They were always looked at with hatred
Noone cared to know them a least
Their part just needed to be heard of
Haven't you heard of beauty and the beast?
Ones you look beyond their greys
They would seem more of black
The dark that absorbed all the pain
Built of compassion we lack
But that's how we are groomed
To make the dark seem darker
But one can't be perfect in everyone's story
So I would always choose the side of a monster
