Monsters Change

Of time when thoughts,
Wander to school days
When we were just kids,
Blissfully unaware,
Just fun days.

Worried about monsters
Living under our beds,
Running away from
Nap times.

Now,
Years later, just wishing,
Wanting to go back.

Shadow thoughts,
Clinging, never leaving.
To hunting waking nightmares,
Worried about
Monsters in human skin,
Praying for nighttime
To come faster.

Now, just trying to survive,
Just another day.
