Safe Place

by Kaylen_Jo74

i always close the door behind me 

as if to keep the monsters inside

they cling to the doorframe 

and i coil up trying to hide 

they think they are superior 

it's getting difficult to prove them wrong

they spin my head round 'n round 

i am beginning to wander around the wrong places 

but here i stay

and the monsters stay too

inside this room a safe place awaits

where the monsters keep watch 

because no one else can take it
