There are monsters everywhere
But they aren't under my bed
They aren't lurking in the shadows
They are in my head
I'm not afraid to be alone in the dark
They are not there
They aren't hiding in my closet
Trust me though, they're everywhere
The monster I fear hides
It's concealed in the mirror
When I look closely
It comes nearer
It gazes into my eyes
It senses my fears
In menacing tones it whispers
"You're the only one who knows I'm here"
There are monsters everywhere
Just look and see
But there is only one that I fear
That monster is me

LesseloovesPeterover 10 years agoI like this one, really connects to that piece in me that fears the worst of myself.
todski28over 10 years agowriting a lot of amazing work, glad you have graced us with your work :-)
I think this line
"You're the only one who knows I'm here"
might read better as
"You alone know I'm here"
as it is a closer syllable count to you preceding B line that you rhyme Just my 2 cents on what is another great poem of yours :-)
