Knock-knock
within your closet
child
There are no monsters here
Knock-knock
beneath your bed
my child
There are no monsters here
Knock-knock
upon your dreams
dear child
There are no monsters here
They’re all inside your head
my child
That’s where the monsters dwell
I promise in the morning
child
you’ll find them in the well,
For there they find
the entryway back into
childhood’s hell.
