Under the bed
Are the monsters of childhood.
They make children scream
And are socially understood.
But the real monsters
Are in our head.
They don’t run away in the morning,
They will haunt you till you’re dead.
They live under our skin, in our blood
As anger, brainwash, hate
Which is maybe why maturing
Is such a big weight.
