Monsters InsidE--
Here in my bedroom,
cocooned in the sheets
while lights glide across walls
as cars pass on the streets,
shadows gather together
in too many dark places.
I look towards my closet
and my heart races.
I reach for the cross
on a string by my bed.
It's cool feel gives comfort,
but I'm still filled with dread.
For a monster is hidden
inside with my clothes.
I scrunch under the covers
try to hide, but it knows.
For even in darkness
through shadows, it sees me.
And even years later,
those shadows can freeze me.
As I sit at my desk,
all wrapped up in this rhyme,
I pause and I wonder,
how the passage of time
has just reshaped my fears,
replaced old with the new -
fresh terrors eclipsing
the ones I outgrew.
