18 Year Old Monster

I am finding myself believing in monsters.
The Boogey man that lived under the bed,
The demon that lurked in the dark ,
The Wicked Trolls that'll grab my ankles.
I am finding myself fearing these monsters.
The Boogey man that told me-
my life choices were sinful ,
The demon living in my emotions,
The wicked troll that judged my every move.
I didnt find myself ,
I found my reverence .
A leach on my shoulders relieving me of 
Hope ,Happiness -
The light of life.
I've found my fears ,
Now i'm affraid .
