As day gives up
the fight, monsters
hidden in the light, come out.
At night fears forgotten
come to life, there is
a monster in the closet
and under my bed.
Mother says it's not there,
but in my head.
Menacing eyes, big
yellow teeth, he comes
for me as I sleep
Mother does not believe me
Still, she comes to see
She grabs his foot and pulls
I grab one too.
Together
We
d r a g
the monster
Through the open door
And slam it behind him,
just to be sure
Safe in the light
Mother saved me
From the dream that chases me.
