There is no monster in my head,
only the one under my bed.
I feel it at night reaching for me,
under my covers I must flee.
A foot, a hand, or even my hair,
must stay hidden, must take care.
I climb in bed and turn out the light,
in the darkness is where we fight.
It only comes out when I’m along,
each time I move I hear it moan.
It tries to get me every night,
I fight it off with my flashlight.
Together so long in this game we play,
it never has caught me in any way.
There is a monster under my bed,
though my children tell me it’s all in my head.
