Poem Artwork


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

You again touch the depths of pain in life...and wake our hearts to care for each other, and our precious children.
You are one of God's angels on earth.
Love you!
