Those ropes
Tight against my skin
Locked in the closet
Alone in the dark again
How many times
Had I been here before
Just one more monster
Being born within
How many of them
Were pushed into me
How many more
Were simply hiding
Already in my empty
Monsters born
Monsters already there
Looking back
How do I tell the difference
Between the monsters and me
The Monsters (or Me)
20 Friday Nov 2015
I’ve learned to dance
With my monsters
We sway like ghosts
Shimmers
Shines
Then lost
In the dark
Blindly we tap
Frantically
To the silent beat
