The Monster In Your Head
The Darkness That Lurks Behind The Smile
The Monster In Your Head
Disclaimer: This poem is dark and it deals with mental health issues. It can be triggering to some. Reader discretion is advised.
Don’t worry, little darling.
Don’t you cry.
That monster you see
is only in your head.
Don’t you ever think
that you can ever be free
from the lies you weaved
in your mind.
Sing it with me, little darling.
Sing your lullaby!
I will be fine.
As long as the sun is high in the sky,
I am safe inside.
As long as the sun still shines on my path,
the monster in my head
stays in my mind.
As long as the sun is in the sky.
Don’t worry, little darling.
The things you see at night
are tricks played by your poor sight.
Don’t you ever cry.
You were never meant to fly.
Sing the lullaby, little darling.
I will be fine.
Once the sun is up high in the sky,
I can pretend to fly.
I am safe from the monster
that only lurks in the dark.
It feeds on fear.
It feeds on my fear.
Don’t worry, little darling.
The things we experience in the dark,
and the things that left marks
are only lies we weaved
in our minds.
So we sing until the sun is back
up high in the sky.
That monster that lurks in the dark
only lives in our minds.
It’s a lie we need to live by!
So one day we can fly!
It’s a lie we must tell.
The monster is in your head.
