I won’t admit it’s there-
The monster day denies,
Demanding my despair.
Won’t peek to meet a stare
Of sockets without eyes,
I won’t admit it’s there-
At night my fears are bare,
The shadows shift with lies-
Demanding my despair.
Beside myself, aware;
The monster marks demise,
I won’t admit it’s there-
My instincts scream ‘beware’
Beneath the blanket – cries-
Demanding my despair.
It’s only a nightmare,
To heed it is unwise;
I won’t admit it’s there-
Demanding my despair.
