Where are the beasts of the night?

The ones that haunt me with their deviled flight

There were never any monsters

There was only just us

And it had always been just us

And when I finally got up, I smiled

Then, with them, we walked to another young child

All alone and afraid

I sat down next to her, whispering as soft as I could

"Monsters, monsters

Everywhere, there are monsters"

Laughing, I saw the fеar creep into her eyes

I watchеd as the horror began

And even as we crowed joyfully, I yelled to her

"Always be afraid of the monsters!"
