i have a monster hiding under my bed i put him in a box and sometimes paint him red he says he wants to help me but his methods arent quite right they might take him if they caught me so i keep him out of sight in the darkness, feeling all alone i bring him out to play he doesnt make a sound just wonders what it is ill say "just one game" i tell him, "that could do no harm" he begins to drag his fingers slowly up my arm maybe its time to stop now but ive forgotten why i was so sad this "demon" has helped so much, how can he be so bad when playtime is finally over and i decide to lay him back down i have to clean up his mess or else i may very well drown you see, i have a monster hiding under my bed and hes what helps me cope with all the ones inside my head
