[bodytext] => A child hides from the monster in the closet They shrink as they check under the bed Closing their eyes against fear's secret Grownups never understand their dread A child walks into the day's nightmare Skirting the monsters that hide in the sand Turning a corner, seeing them everywhere Knowing the big people can't understand Children see things much clearer than we They believe in what we have thrown away We're quick to dismiss whatever they see We mustn't give credence to what they say No matter the age, monsters never change They present daily their evil torment Believing in them might make you strange But all eventually see that fanged serpent Monsters trick you with their sweet charm They relish in bringing a soul some drama It's often too late when you see the harm They use darkness to hide their ugly trauma I've never lost sight of my life's monsters They reside just outside my range of vision Monsters think they're clever little actors But the soul isn't fooled by their illusion Monsters thrive on mass destruction Hoping you'll be too stunned to care They stab your heart with evil intention They lie while yelling false words of despair You have to believe in your life's truth Monsters tend to leave no route of escape But if you learn how to become a sleuth Your discovery will destroy their shape Life is so hard; monsters make it worse Once you recognize your strength, courage It's amazing how fast the monsters disperse Just strike them down with hope's voltage [comments] => 1 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
