Just when you think the monsters are gone

They come back with a vengeance

Like never before.

 

They dance in your mind when you're in bed at night

Prancing and frolicking

Waiting or their chance to strike.

 

When the dancing stops is when their fun begins

They turn on you with those black beady eyes

******* all light from deep within.

 

They hit so fast it's hard to defend

Scratching and biting

Until there's no way you can contend.

 

Because you're bleeding and hurting

From their tiny, sharp teeth

Then back to darkness you are reverting.

 

It's easier to feel when you aren't being eaten alive

From those tiny little things that haunt you on the inside.
