Hiding
Can't go to bed
Monsters
In my closet
Ready to strike
Hurt me
Make me bleed
Monsters
With grotesque
Faces
Ready to pounce
Making me feel
Small
Stupid
Hiding
Stone walls
Surround my heart
Where monsters
Can't enter
Where they can
Beat me
But I won't scream
Or cry
Motionless against
Pain
My heart will be
Numb
Void of feeling
Hiding
Monsters in my closet
Ready to
Devour
Rob me of life
My childhood
Ready to leave
Me broken
And dying
I can't go to bed
And let
Horror engulf me
Let the monsters
Win
Hiding
From monsters in my closet
Named
Mommy and
Daddy
Very well written Linda.

Linda, thank you for your excellent reminder that monsters walk among us all year - not just at Halloween.

A shocker. Now I know why I started tracking you. Very deceptive and very well done.
