M-O-N-S-T-E-R-S

You think monsters are under the bed 
What if I told you they’re in your head?
The monsters almost took over today 

But your words took me to the place
Where monsters don’t stay
I lay in the lap of my lover
I tear up over and over
Again and began  
Fill me with your words 
So I can fill up my world
With the tattoos of you in my heart
I’m torn apart
You think monsters are under your bed
But what if I tell you they’re  all in my head? 
I just need a hug
One where no one says a thing 
The comfort of not knowing what happens next.
The monsters aren’t gonna win
Bend me too your standards 
O- how I love being a bag
That the cat drags
Monsters, monsters in chair
Monsters, monsters in my hair
Monsters, monsters they’re everywhere
The monsters in school
The monsters of the past
They can no longer  get me
My monsters aren’t under my bed 
They shall all be in my head!
The pile of clothes shall be in the corner
I’m a mourner
I grieve my uncle 
I see him in the shadows 
O- the bellows i hear from my heart 
It takes it’s tour
Monsters are in the room
Which my head is separated into
Different parts of me 
It shall be
The monsters in my home  
They come as a light 
The shadows keep me safe
Half of me is all of me 
That’s all I can give 
To you My Love 
You keep me going 
This school kills because of the Monsters 
They’re in the teachers and students 
Hello from the side of the bullied 
Monsters everywhere 
Monsters in everything 
I just want to be able to be myself 
But society took that away 
Away my dreams went 
Bent in an unrecognizable way
My head shall be in the clouds 
M-O-N-S-T-E-R-S
Monsters
Monsters aren’t always under the bed, 
Sometimes they’re in someone’s head
You never know what someone is going through 
Be generous to those who surround you 
For they need a person too.
