Monsters in the Window

i'm tired of afraid, i'm constantly the 5 year old,
seeing monsters in the window.

fists clenched, eyes open wide, there's supposed to be no monsters at 25,
or else someone lied.

story of my life, what else to write except these monsters - cans of worms.

though i'm nearly 28 i'm still so tired of afraid,
and the shadows on my wall keep on keeping me awake, exhausted and afraid,
and wrapped up in fear and blankets and bad dreams and shot nerves.

story of my life, what else to write, so many monsters - cans of worms.

will i forever be afraid of the terminally unexplained thing that goes bump in the nite?
