The monsters in this house
A childs’ fear are those that lurk at night
.Not this child.
This child’s fear are those that stand in the home
Those that ramble words of love, but those words that cut deeper than knives.
This childs’ fear are those monsters that are guardians.
Take my life because you could not figure out yours. Take no more.
Fear you have instilled but I take back.
No more monsters in this house. I ask you to go. I ask you to move and speak no more.
Take your knives and free this life.
Fear does not live here anymore. The monsters have left this house.
Your knives are no longer sharpened. Fear is dead
