Monsters in my closet

Monsters in my closet

there are monsters in the closet Ma

yes, my closet

do you have some too

i hear them breathing

especially at night

the perfect fright time

is night time

even if the Sun is out

or is that the Son

there are monsters in my closet

i have seen quite a few of them

in my day

what say you

have you had the opportunity

to meet them

greet them

have a seat

and speak with them

they say we are the ones

who complete them

and they thanked me for

not deleting them

replete, don’t you think

i do

yet in spite of their gratitude

their life long attitude

is the servitude

of me,

yes me

you see

they make for my certainty

for would i be

who i am

without

Monsters in my closet ?

would you ?

they are daunting

in their haunting

as they reflect upon us

so we can detect within us

our fears

our doubts

our bouts with our humanity

and our divine sanity

that is locked

in our self made asylums

whose walls are

waiting to be tore down

and the clowns that we are

we parge the holes

and cracks

to keep them whole

like we are under attack

and we are

by that

of our own villains

and enemies

can’t we see ?

what we do to our “me”

profundity is profound
