dear monster under my bed,
when i turned 7 they told me
you were nothing but a figment
of my dark childhood imagination

dear monster under my bed,
when i turned 11 i realized
that you were always there with me
creeping along the tunnels of my brain

dear monster under my bed,
when i turned 14 i learnt
that you were the only thing
that never left me
