I was older than most kids
Were when they stopped
Being afraid of monsters
In the corners of their room.
My parents checked
But never saw them.
I guess it took me
Too long to realize
That the monsters I saw
Weren't in my closet
But in my head.

Monsters
I was older than most kids
Were when they stopped
Being afraid of monsters
In the corners of their room.
My parents checked
But never saw them.
I guess it took me
Too long to realize
That the monsters I saw
Weren't in my closet
But in my head.
