Sometimes you gotta fall before you can fly


When I was little, I feared the monsters in my closet and underneath my bed.
I figured to protect my self
I turned on the light and covered my self with blankets.
But, now that I grow older
I realize that its not the monster hiding in my closet or under my bed that im afraid of
its the ones in me head.
But these monster I cant hide from,
I cant just turn on the light or cover my self with blankets,
they are always there
And they wont ever leave
Now, I greet those monsters in my room,
I am no longer afraid of them.
I no longer turn on the light or hide under blankets,
I wait for them to come.
I wait for something to comfort me.
I tell them how they no longer scare me
because my own monsters in my head scare me more.
They get sad
then they leave
Im just left with these monsters in my head
the ones I cant get rid of by hiding or turning on alight
because I have created them and they are me.
how do I get rid of these monsters?
