Night Terror

By Mother CombsPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Lying in bed, hearing a noise

👹

My overactive imagination is working overtime

👺

I’m in a universe of trouble

👻

I don’t know what to do

👽

Feeling the drool soaking my bed

🧌

I know they’re all around me

👾

Monsters coming from every dimension possible

☠️

Each wanting to feed on me

👹

I can smell their sulfur scent

👺

As they circle all around me

👻

Waiting for my eyes to open

👻

Then they’ll drag me to hell

    Well-wrought! When I was a kid, my mom told me something that changed me in the most positive way. She told me I could fight the monsters in my nightmares... and I did! It was like she gave me permission to become the hero in my own story. Though you may not have intended it, I thank you for reminding me, and though it may not necessarily be my place, I should like to permit others to do the same, even if only in spirit!

    I remember those nights as a kid when I felt exactly this way. Luckily most real monsters are human …
