Poem Artwork


Hiding
Can't go to bed
Monsters
In my closet
Ready to beat me
Hurt me
Make me bleed
Monsters
With grotesque
Faces
Ready to pounce
Making me feel
Small
Stupid

Hiding
Building a wall
Around 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
Stone
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 the monsters in my closet
Named
Mommy and
Daddy.....

Oh my God!
I know how lucky I have been. Nothing but love.
And now I shower it on my son.
But too many are so unfortunate.
This stabs right in the heart.
Awesome writing Linda.

A proud father of 4 I find it incomprehensible that any child should fear any adult, let alone a parent. But it's words like yours that remind me that they do.

It is a shame when a child has to live in fear. You fill their plight and write so well for them and their cause. You are such a fine poet dear. Hugs Bill
