The monsters under our beds never left They got bigger and stronger as we got older Unlike what the movies said We was told they were suppose to leave They were gonna leave us alone and let us live But the monsters under our beds never left
The ghosts in our closets never died They became louder with words and learned more actions They found ways to escape in the cracks And crept up on us in the worst of times We were always hoping they were gonna pass along But the ghosts in our closets never died
The night-lights beside our beds burnt out It was advertised as never ending Suppose to protect me from the demons Keep the light in and dark out We were always happy when it shined But the night-lights beside our beds burnt out
The crack under our doors only got bigger Not physically of course but they somehow allowed more things through The door is suppose to block out the bad people Its suppose to protect me from the unwanted And always keep me safe But the crack under our doors only got bigger
Our dads always got stronger We were told parents are suppose to be there for you Protect you from the imaginary things But he became the monsters and he became the ghosts I tried to keep myself safe But our dads always got stronger
We became more scared Growing old is suppose to mean growing out of childhood terrors But the monsters never left The ghosts never died The night-lights burnt out The cracks got bigger He became stronger And we are now always terrified
I’ve posted this before but it was my first poem so not many people saw it and since I am proud of it, I thought I would post it again.
