Monster Under The Bed

Silly children
They say the darnest things
Imagination runs wild
They even think their imaginary friend is a actual human being

You have the parents that take everything their child says with a grain of salt
The child tells her mother
That mommy's new boy friend has been touching her
And this sad excuse for a woman says her own daughter is at fault!

You do realize this is your child right?

She thinks he told me
A child lied on him before and said he touched them
But she knows him so well
That she blows off all facts

The child cries when she leaves for work
Who wants to be left alone with a monster
That takes advantage of their young age and small stature

A monster
Sick excuse of a human
If this
Was your child
What would you?

Her mother turned
A blind eye
So the daughter
Took matters
Into her own hands

30 some odd knife wounds
Later
She finally
Vanquished
The monster under her bed
