Monster: A Sonnet
monsters under my bed control my head
monsters live within your skin he now said
where I must go they follow behind me
creature creature so much here why not see
the poison that they give is contagious
remind me why they don’t try and warn us
we walk into a trap with hands bound back
monsters they yell they tell pick up your slack
run fast little mouse I can hear your scream
fight back fight back there must be more it seems
see now the light it shines for you my dear
lead them away from this force them to hear
there is a silver lining here tonight
stand tall don’t fall its time to make this right
-M
