The lost and the lonely

Some people 
Are monsters
Dressed as sheep
And some people 
Are sheep 
Dressed as monsters
And somewhere
Amidst the chaos
Are the animals
Dressed 
As people
Who have forgotten
How to bleat
Who have forgotten
Where they 
Came from
Who wander
Lost and lonely
Waiting
In the shadows
Between the rain
And the sunlight
For a time
When they can 
Shine
Without 
Ever
Being
Noticed
