The Monsters

There once were monster that hid in our closets

and they were scary

and we had to have daddy scare them away

We were seven and small

so it was only normal

to be scared of things unreal

And he'd come in

and he'd scare the monsters away

and then he'd kiss our foreheads

he'd tell us that we are safe now

and we knew that we were

Then we went to school,

and we were followed by the monsters

but we knew they wouldn't hurt us

because they never liked the light

So we played outside

and we'd go home

then we would get ready for bed

not remembering the monster

till we were getting tucked in

and daddy would scare away the monster

and we'd got to sleep safe and sound

Then one day we woke up

and there were monsters in our heads

but we we're too old to have daddy scare them away

We are seventeen and not so small

So it was only normal

to be scared of things so real

and he'd come out

the monster in my mind

saying I'm all things I fear most

Then we'd go to school

and the monsters still followed us
only now they were in our dark minds hiding in all the corners

and they never touched us but they still hurt us

and we'd go home, hiding inside

And we couldn't go to bed

because we always remembered the monster

and no one will tuck us in

Not that we asked

we're too old to be scared of them

The monsters that hide inside my mind
