The Monster Under my Bed
Location
Wake up one night
Sweat on my face
my heart was beating wildly
at an uneven pace
My face was wet
my tears dripping to the floor
I cling to myself
I couldnt take it anymore
All you did was yell
all you said were lies
and as my blood hit the floor
you screamed "don't you cry!"
Small little dots
soon littered my floor
my own blood
was not mine anymore
I had to hide my bruises
I couldnt let my classmates know
A tiny bit of makeup
would cover the ones that would show
I offered out a smile
to all of my friends
but as soon as i came home
my smile came to an end
you were always there
the monster under my bed
and thanks to your brutality
I can't even take shelter in my head
As i sit here and think
about what you stole from me
I have nothing to give
you even stole my security
So as i sit in pain
or as i fake a smile
I know you see me dying
you have seen it for awhile.
