Monsters
One day I woke up
In the night
and I saw the monsters under my bed
I was a child
I was scared
They were dancing
Telling me I was dead
I closed my eyes again
And work up in the morning light
I kissed my mother’s cheek
She told me it’s all right
Years later
I lie away in bed
Thinking of the monsters inside of my head
I thought they only came out
When I was asleep
But then I learned
The monsters under my bed
Are nothing but the thoughts
Inside my head
I try to sleep
But I hear them speak
They keep telling me
That they want me
Dead.
