Letter to the monster under my bed

Hi there monster under the bed

Hello to you my good sir

Its been a while since we have spoken

And my heart is in a great stir

People dont acknowledge your dedication

You are never given the glory

Truth be told, you have been very faithful

And played an important role in my story

As a child i often feared you

Refusing to give the under the bed a peek

I didnt understand that you didnt wanna scare me

Like me, it was attention that you seek

You made growling sounds some days

And i trembled, thinking you would eat me up

Didnt realize that facing the fear and staying alone in my room

Gave me a braver heart, and seldom give up

When i grew up and travelled on my own

You followed me and continued your role

I always knew that you have been around

But now your silly noises and tactics are taking a toll

come outside to this world my friends

Lets sit down and have a coffee and chat

Hey, maybe you can tell me if you have hidden

My brand new, super cool comfortable hat

We can talk about your faithfulness

How you beat all the other monsters in hanging around

How even though you may not show it

In your heart love is abound

Maybe we can work on being better in talking to each other

Communicate in words instead of sounds or scares

Its gonna be hard work....but we will get better

Easier to share, than carry on our own all our cares
