PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there’s no monsters in the closet that’s what mother said
there’s no boogie man or zombies underneath my bed
when there’s scratches on the window she said it’s only branches in the breeze

there’s no freddy kreuger, blair witch, there’s no chucky doll
they’re just characters in movies, they’re not real at all
how’s it possibly my mother never realized that monsters do exist?

these nightmares aren’t nightmares and i can’t reveal
the monster i see every night is very real
when i hear that demon voice i stop breathing and i freeze
if i’m to stop that germ from spreading, i must kill the disease

oh father in heaven please protect me
"hello kitten don’t be scared it’s only daddy"
i can’t live through this again
"i just came to tuck you in"
but i just wanna go to sleep, i pray to god my soul to keep
"don’t you wanna give a goodnight kiss to daddy?
don’t you wanna give a goodnight kiss to daddy?"

god give me strength
god take away my fears
if you’re really out there
send me a sign!

this is the last time i’ll ever ask you for anything
this is the last time i will pretend nothing is happening
alone, tell me that i’m not alone
tell me my heart can be salvaged
tell me my soul can be saved

my fault, tell me this is not my fault
tell me why do i deserve this life?

my brushes, some paint
i’ll need my razor blades and a warm jacket
and i’m taking this gun

there’s nothin’ in this world to justify him
if i am to survive i must defy him
i’m leaving this behind
i’ll go so far away he’ll never find me
i know that i’m making that the last time
