| Monsters of life As we sleep tight at night or mind is wide awake Dreaming and seeking up fantasies. I remember when Even me as a young girl hated too see the lights to go out. That was when my mind would wander to those things I seeing no longer As a young girl that fear of monsters and such was so near. Sleeping, tossing turning, Seeing those creeps at night, waking in a sweat crying out ...wanting you to just understand. All I needed was you too make it clear you believed in at least me ...and tell me how too fight the nights. Instead I was left all tucked in, closet shut tight. AS IF that's were they roamed! I remember the night I stopped crying out at night knowing all too well that it wouldn�t matter. You made it clear that all silly childish tremors. I remember after I was grown you asking me why I stopped needing you... I wanted to reply the nights you stopped believing my fears were all so real. Instead I took a Deep breath and I repeated the same unbelieving line you told me back when I was that little girl that feared I said there nothing too be afraid of dear I am here and walked off into the night...I Stood outside your door my tears being my only fear...I am no longer that little girl anymore and I still fear. But now that monster that I fear is life. J.J Snyder |
