Thoughts of A Wondering Mind

Monsters

I remember when I was younger and still naïve to the world

I wasn’t afraid of anything

But now that I am older and my skin a tad bit darker

And my mind a lot more wiser and aware

Aware of how dark and cruel the world really is

I find certain things quite scary

They said there weren’t monsters in my closet or underneath my bed or at my bedroom window

Oh but those monsters are very much real

Though they are tucked away

Sometimes they’ll sneak up behind me and

Surprise me unpleasantly

The world is cold hearted and dark with shadows

Of lurking Monsters
