Monsters, Skeltons and Things We Sweep Under The Rug

Freeverse

It has been said

That I got monsters

Under my bed and

Skeletons in my closet

That I am trying to forget

Secrets I have kept

Have been swept

Under the rug

So pull the plug

On the vacuum

As the true looms

The end is coming soon?

 

 

It has been

Said that I got monsters

Under my bed

To match those voices

That are inside my head

It seems like

They all want

Me dead

So I guess

I will digress

As I am forced

To be a wimp

As I caught

A glimpse

Of the army

Of imps

Along with

The demons

Scheming

Using dragons

To keep dragging

My hopes and dreams

Beneath my bed

One day I will be dead 

 

 

It has been said

That I got monsters

Under my bed and

Skeletons in my closet

That I am trying to forget

Secrets I have kept

Have been swept

Under the rug

So pull the plug

On the vacuum

As the true looms

The end is coming soon?

 

 

 

See

These bones

Won't leave me alone

Trapped in the closet

These skeletons

Refuse to run

It is scary because

They are stationary

Lying and defying

What the master

Did in the valley

With the prophet

How quickly

They forget

As their

Ideas change

Thoughts rearranged

As they become estranged

As their philosophies

About me

Can't be contained

As they gnaw and feast

On my pain

 

It has been said

That I got monsters

Under my bed and

Skeletons in my closet

That I am trying to forget

Secrets I have kept

Have been swept

Under the rug

So pull the plug

On the vacuum

As the true looms

The end is coming soon?

 

The debris

That came

From me

Is neatly

Hidden beneath

The carpet

As I want to

Need to

Try to

Forget

Yet the indentation

And formation

Causes the vacuum

To sway

As curiosity starts

To loom

My secrets will be

Revealed soon?

 

It has been said

Under the rug

So pull the plug

On the vacuum

As the true looms

The end is coming soon?

Author's Note

these are places that we hide our secrets from ourselves and the world. The prophet mentioned comes from Ezekiel Chapter 37. This also was imbued by Jenesis's poem Ghosts In My Bed and from Eminem's Cleanin' Out My Closet.

I am humbled by your words...thanks for returning me to my first love-poetry

[Jennesis]

I love the flow of this Rico. It is interesting, as humans our past continues to leave shadows across our lives. This image of a vacuum trying to clean it up is so true with all of us. This was beautiful. I want to hear you read it out loud. Thank you for inspiring me every day. ~Jennesis
