Monsters

There are monsters
Forming in my head
Hiding in my heart
Whispering in my ear
After dark

There are monsters
Nestled safely in my dreams
Projecting images
Causing dread
Inflicting fear
Bleeding through me

There are monsters
Tucked in tight
Always holding on
Letting go only
When they have been
Burned

There are monsters
Sucking me dry
Eating me from the
Inside out
Causing me pain

There are monsters
That live in me
Never letting go
Forming
Molding
Blending
To me

It’s frightening really
What they can do

There are monsters
Living in my head
