do you remember those stories
the ones you were told as a kid
about the monsters under your bed
you were always so scared
you slept with a nightlight
then you got older
you realized they were just
fiction, nothing more
but a couple years later you learned
monsters do exist
however, they aren't like the ones in the stories
they aren't under your bed or in your closet
they don't lure in the dark
you find them in the people you love most
the ones you hold all your trust in
they live in a world that once seemed so safe
but the scariest ones of all
hide inside your head
no nightlight will protect you
you can't run away
finding safety under your covers
you will never be safe
and they will never go away
you to create a world where both can co-exist
