A Truthful lie

Monsters

Monster, I scream

They plague my being

So you check under the bed

The closest

Nothing, you say

But the monsters are real

They're here and still

You tell me to quiet

Monsters aren't there

But they are don't you see

They're real to me

And they aren't in my closet

They aren't under my bed

My monsters

Lie somewhere No one can get

My monsters are in my head
