Monster

The Middle Child

The monster is coming back and I'm stronger than before but just not strong enough

I'm still afraid

And this time it's not up to me

I can only watch as the door creeps open

I thought we got rid of it I thought we won

But how stupid was I to believe that a mortal can kill something that is immortal

The stories in the books speak about people like us and us winning in the end

Am I foolish to think that was just stories to help us believe

Help please help

I don't know what to do

I wish monsters would just stay behind the doors, i wish we had a safe place

Do I admit defeat and cry and hide under the covers

I can't run away again.

So what do I do?

Do I call the monsters bluff and pretend it doesn't exist?

The door is opening wider

It's coming in.
