Look under your bed and in the closet, for monsters no where to be seen.
When you dream of monsters you may think of, Halloween

But not all monsters are creatures, that are lurking, waiting to strike
And not all monsters look dangerous, and not all look alike

When you think of monsters, you think sharp teeth, and glowing eyes
They take the shape of your very worst fears, and the things that you despise

But have you stopped to wonder is it these things you should fear
Because maybe the real monsters are the people you hold near

When you think of those horrid monsters just stop, and ask yourself why
They cause you to become so very scared, and make you want to cry

Most will say they could eat them, kill them, watch them while they sleep
Some say that monsters do horrible things that would make anyone weep

But you are too young, too innocent, you couldn’t possibly understand
That these things happen everyday, but not in a fairytale land

What you don’t know is people are exactly like the monsters in your dreams
And it won’t be long before you grow up, and your fantasies rip at the seams

You’ll be thrown into a world of chaos, not the one that you knew before
And everyone knows that all you must do is walk through the enchanted door

The horrors you face, will not seem new, but like something you heard long ago
Perhaps a story where monsters terrorize people, and heroes put on a show

The monsters, the goblins, and witches, aren’t what exactly you thought
They’re human, but they do the same horrible things, and somehow you aren’t distraught

Then you remember the stories, the ones you were told as a child
You think about what each one of them taught, and then you stopped and smiled

The stories didn’t tell you dragons existed, of that you already knew
They told you they could be beaten, and that you could make it through

You look back on all of tales you were told, while you were snug in bed
And every one gives you strength to face the road ahead
So now you know there are monsters, and you know that they are real
But you know that you will be ok, no matter what you feel

Cause all your life you have been told, fantastic versions of the truth
They made you scared, but gave you hope all throughout your youth

As long as you never give up, always stand proud, and tall
You can do anything thrown your way, you are a princess, after all
