Let’s not pretend
That's in the back of your mind
In the darkest rooms you visit
Or the dead of night
You’re not trembling.

For the monster under your bed,
Is the one lurking behind the mirror
And every day you give up,
Its image becomes clearer.
We all have dark sides; some of us flirt with them more than others, yet fear what's on the other side of that. Universal Monsters (Wolfman, Dracula, the Mummy, to name a few) all taught us these lessons, we were too busy eating popcorn to listen.
