No matter how much
i try to convince myself
that it is really ok
to let my arms or legs
hang over the side
of my bed i stilll tremble -
Once my hand stretches over
the end of the mattress's
corners and floats freely
outside the blanket's edge's
i quickly pull it back -
like a finger that touched a hot stove.
Then I jump a little inside -
relieved I was not snatched up
by the monster under my bed.
i know one of these times
if i am not careful he might get me.
So i feel safer staying tucked in tight
under the blanket all wrapped up
where everyone nows
monsters can't get you.
