Monsters
Look at the world, the vast entirety it is
Look at yourself, the little amongst the billions who live upon this Earth
It’s night, it’s dark, and you’re all alone
When you scream, no one is there to help you
The bed you sleep, you tuck your blanket in
Hiding under it, you hope that nothing will hurt you
Take in your earphones, escape with music
But noises are louder and your mind twist and turns
You think, “Don’t look under the bed, it’s scary!”
What lies under the bed? That makes you curious
You slowly pull down your blanket, the chills run up your spine
Your hands shiver and quiver, your eyes dart like the pendulum
Look down and down under the bed
Whoosh! You warp into a pitch-black mess
Trash, smoke, and death galore
Cloud rains blood and sorrow runs to the floor
You run and run and there’s nowhere to hide
All the monsters around you surround every direction
You take a stick and draw a circle around
In hoping that demons won’t be entering your circle
It’s safe, it’s warm, it’s comforting, it’s small
Even if days pass, the circle won’t linger on
The world is full of monsters and you don’t know where to go
Almost hopeless, you want to dive into the darkness
The hands holding each other right near the chest
A huge beam strikes above the sky
All monsters turn white and the world you see is all gone
You wake up, it’s 8:00AM
“This is all a nightmare,” you think to yourself
You walk out of bed, getting ready for a shower
The circle is still under the bed…
