When I was younger I used to be afraid of monsters
I thought they were under my bed.
Years passed with shame and humiliation
With people hurting me and using me without even knowing it hurt me.
Doing things I shouldn't have done,
As I got older I still believed in monsters,
but It was in a totally different way.
The monsters are not under my bed no more
I realized they were in my head all along.
