The Monsters Inside
When I was little, I was scared
Of the monsters that dared
To hide in my closet or under the bed
Each night, before I went to sleep
I’d slowly creep
Checking to be sure,
The closet was clear
And no monsters had made it under the bed
That’s because when I was little,
No one told me -
You will not find the monsters
In your closet,
You will not find the monsters,
Under the bed,
The monsters are in your head
You can’t escape.
Each night,
They come alive
Sometimes making you want to die
Now I wish,
I was only scared
Of the monsters that dared
To hide in my closet or under the bed
Instead,
They found a home in my head.
-H.M. Jackson
