Remember the monsters that hid in your room as a child?

You thought they left.

But you were wrong.

They're still there.

And you didn't know it.

But you did know it.

And you didn't know it.

But you did know it.

You knew and didn't same time.

You just had trouble identifying them...

The stress you feel, the panic, every negative emotion you have, were the monsters that hid in your room.

In your closet.

And under your bed.

As a child, your imagination give them a physical shape.

A combination of your fears,

Turned them into the monsters that scared you.

But just because you stopped believing in monsters, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Because they do.

They hide inside your mind.

You only thought they were emotions.

Not the Beasts in the Bedroom.

The Creatures of the Night.

The Horrors That Lurk in the Shadows.

As you got older, they evolved.

Splitting into separate different emotions.

Never leaving.

Never dying.

Always there.

Always.

Whether they were hidden away,

Or front and center.

Whether it's burden,

Hopelessness,

Anxiety,

Guilt,

Paranoia,

Or self denial,

Even feeling that you aren't good enough.

It's something that can't be fixed.

It happens to everyone.

Never leaving...

Never dying....

Staying there,

Forever..............
