Mama Always Said...
... The Monster Under the Bed Wasn’t Real
MAMA ALWAYS SAID…
By: Victoria Taylor
Mama always said
The monster under the bed wasn’t real
Lifted the bed skirt and looked all ‘round
With flashlight in hand and pink lips flashin’ a smile
There’s no monsters baby She would insist
Mama always said
The monster in the shadows wasn’t real
She never knew it was when she wasn’t there
Lifted my skirt and looked all round
With evil in hands and crooked teeth flashin a smile
Mama always said
None of them could hurt me especially with grown-ups around
But she doesn’t know monsters can be grown
The only difference they are stronger
They are faster and they hunt
Mama always said
To ignore the monsters as they call me
They call at me as I walk making filthy remarks
They begin to follow me
And how do I get away
Mama always said
The monsters wouldn’t hurt me
...Until one day they did
