Monsters under the bed

I could hear the growling

But when I looked there was nothing to be seen

Tried to go back to sleep again

But they continued in my dream

Nothing was as it seemed

Felt something touch my back as I leaned in to get something from the rack

Even when I turned the light on everything was black

Back to bed again waiting for another attack

Thinking about nothing then heard something that sounded like coughing

Something started to smell rotten

Hoping I wouldn't end up in a coffin

Time to shut my eyes and say goodbye

You couldn't laugh nor could you cry

I came here again just to try

Going to sleep was something to dread

Especially with the thought of monsters under the bed
