There Really Are Monsters

I run for my life
but I can't get away
It follows everywhere I go
I'm trapped
as it chews away at me
I scream as it laughs in my face
I cry out for help
as it bites me again
Mommy, there really are monsters
but they don't hide under the bed
They rage through the world
destroy all they touch
Cutting down everything they see
Keeping you where you are
Lighting fires around you
burning you to the stake
as you try to hide
they pull you out by your ankles
and devour you
Nomatter where I run
it follows
Funny how it looks just like me
