there's a monster under my bed.
i can hear him shuffling with the untouched boxes,
i can hear him scratching against the surrounding walls.
i lift the sheets, he hides deep in the corner, i can't see him.
there's a monster in my closet.
i can hear him rummaging through my wrinkled clothes,
i can hear him trying on different pairs the shoes i've worn.
i open the closet door, he hides deep behind everything, i can't see him.
there's a monster in my dark.
i can hear him rattling against my untouched thoughts,
i can hear him climbing higher and higher on top of my surrounding walls.
i open my eyes, he hides deep in my mind, i can't feel him.
there's a monster in my mind.
i can hear him laughing at my wrinkled beliefs,
i can hear him taunting me with all my different disappointments.
i open my heart, he rips through it, i can take him.
