No need to hide from the monster

Underneath your bed.

We have hope when we have fear…

Monsters don’t exist around us anymore

We chain our hands together

So we won’t hurt other.

We hide our hearts

Beneath ribcages because

We are scarred of losing our minds…

Reinforced with reckless behavior

Are those who call themselves proud…

Chips in my teeth proof

That I have gnarled through this dream…

My tears have dried up

For time has passed

But inside of us…

A nightmare…

But I’m still

And stuck

In the same dimension
