The Light by Theshadowsyoufear
“Your true monsters sleep
just down the hall…”
We make fun of little kids for one thing;
leaving lights on everywhere. They turn
lights on in every room as if it’s some sort
of security blanket. And if you ever force
them to turn them off, they cry and scream and
eventually you give in.
The only time they turn them off is with their parents. They feel safe. So very safe.
I’m the “monster” that lives in your closet.
I’m friends with the one under your bed and the one in the shadows.
When you see us, you flee to you’re mommy and daddy.
But we’re not here to hurt you.
We’re here to protect you.
If you think we’re scary, just wait till you see their true form. They masquerade as one of you and you can never tell. You humans must be blind. Your true monsters sleep just down the hall.
They pretend to love you but
It won’t last. They try to convince us to let them in but don’t worry, we really love you and we will protect you.
So when you see a shadow flit or a figure in the closet, remember, we scary monsters protect you from the human ones.
So you’re safe with us… For now.
