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
