When Monsters Die

I hear you say
I hear you say
That you are with me

In my mind
In my mind
I see you stand

There are monsters
There are monsters
All around me

I am afraid
I am afraid
Please hold my hand

I hide my face
I hide my face
Against their gnashing

Their pointed fangs
Their pointed fangs
All set to bite

I fear I'll be
I fear I'll be
Their latest dinner

Please hold on
Please hold on
To my hand tight

The monsters switch
The monsters switch
They change their colors

From baby blue
From baby blue
To rageful red

The friendly face
The friendly face
Of my companions

Become these ghouls
Become these ghouls
Inside my head

So when I cry
So when I cry
Because I fear you

Please know this
Please know this
It's hard to see

My eyes get blind
My eyes get blind
From all the sorrow

My ears are deaf
My ears are deaf
As deaf can be

So sit with me
So sit with me
Where I can feel you

And hold my hand
And hold my hand
So that I know

The touch of warmth
The touch of warmth
That speaks of human

The feel of skin
The feel of skin
Where blood does flow

Will one day come
Will one day come
When I see clearly

Beyond the ghouls
Beyond the ghouls
That cloud my eye?

To see you real
To see you real
Without the shadows

When trust can live
When trust can live
And monsters die?
Thanks for this!

I'm moved Peaches

I have a poem I wrote a long time ago with much time in between stanzas . It still rings true for me.

Id like to echo you with it.

********************************
no title yet

Impailed by supercillious thoughts
Left in thier shadows
Cast by your absence

Please, do not retire.
Remove your dark shroud
And see amazing colors
*************************
Tap me on the shoulder when you share again please.

Thank you Peaches

Aurora

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

Thank you all so much for allowing me to share with you.

I like your poem, Aurora. If at some time you'd like to talk about the circumstances that prompted the writing of your poem, I'd love to hear about it.

I emailed the poem to my t, and she emailed back:

"I'm honored that you're sharing this with me, and I'll do my best to help you be rid of the monsters."
