Demons

When we were kids 
We were told about monsters  
That lurk in are closets 
And hide under are beds 
We were told 
Not to anger them
Not to disturb them
To leave them alone
But now they aren’t 
In the closet 
Or under are beds 
They're in are heads 
Telling us things
Showing us things 
Messing with us
screwing us up
Making us hate things 
We use to love 
Making us love things
We use to hate 
Making us do things 
We know are bad 
But we still listen 
Because those demons...
There all we have
