As we grow up
The monsters that hid under our beds
Never measure up to the monsters that are inside us
The ones that keep us up at night
The ones that make us feel dark
The ones that make us feel inferior
The monsters that hid under our bed
Will never be the darkest thing I face.
The darkest thing we face
The mistake we made that caused our pain
The incident that makes the dark scary
The parts of ourselves we never tell anyone
The parts we think no one will understand
The parts we hope no one is able to understand
Because to understand it, means you've been through it
And to go through it means a part of you dies inside.
And that part feeds the monster in all of us.
