Before I used to be scared

No I really don’t care

Before I used to repeat the same nightmare

Now it’s like you were never even there

I wish I could talk to old me

I wish I could help her see

See what you really are

That your not a terrifying monster the color of tar

That your just a stupid shadow under my bed

That from the beginning it was all in my head

That your were nothing but an ugly fantasy

That there’s no way in the would you could ever hurt me

That your nothing but a tall tale

That your not the reincarnation of hell

That your just the definition of something without light

That at night I have nothing to fight

That I’m not just something for you to eat

That you won’t reach from the shadows and grab my feet

Your not a demon that needs fear to be fed

Your just the ‘Stupid Monster Under My Bed’
