Ghosts beneath my bed
By gretchen
I'm touching my skin
I feel so cold
I've never felt so distant
so silent and alone
I turn out the lights
I try to disappear
I would do anything
to get away from here
your voice is so loud
its shaking my world
I'm hiding in corners
like a freightened little girl
your the monster in my closet
the ghost beneath my bed
I'm holding my breath
getting lost inside my head
If I stay here long enough
in my mind where I am free
perhaps when my eyes open
you'll be far away from me
the sky will open
the sun will rise
i'll keep moving forward
I won't look back this time
I won't feel so scared
it needs to be like this
where the ghosts are just illusions
and Monsters don't exist
