Whose Monsters? (Genesis Callahan)

I thought I was my mother

We share chocolate hair

And pretty glass eyes.

But my father gave me his

Justice

And integrity

and his ability to see what’s real.

Who does that make me?

Some bloody teeth-bared mix of both of them?

When I reach for the dagger by my side,

Am I fighting for their monsters or mine?
