Mommy the monster is back
Honey I keep telling you it is all in your head
But I will check one more time
No monsters under your bed
No monsters in your closet
Now try to get some sleep


Mommy’s wrong
The monster’s are not just in my head
But all around me


Bullies
Mom and dad fighting
Are just the normal stuff


Abuse and ****
Sexually
Physically
Emotionally


No mom the monster is not just in my head
It lives
It breathes
Day after day it stacks me
Waiting for a time to strike


The face of the monster
Is comprised of everyone I have ever known


No mom the monster is real
You and dad just fail to see it
