Monsters Under My Bed.

The walls can talk.
Caving in, drowning me in sorrows.
I pray they don’t know I can hear it too.

Shooting up at night, I swear something grabbed my wrist,
A black shadow disintegrated into mist.
A shadow close to mine, a face with grim and pride that I finally listen.

The voices want to listen, oh how they grew.

A room that used to be mine, now new.

An opened pill bottle, its contents on the floor,
A beam
Of light trickles through the door,
the vicious bone-shattering
Scream.

I don’t believe in wonders.

I always checked under my bed for monsters,
But never further.

I never looked into the mirror.
