Door shut tightly, might the monsters come.

Chapter 9

Breath

I shut and locked my door

So monsters like you won't get it


Monsters that's say I'm overreacting

When they know that makes it worse


Monsters that think that's how

Good parenting works


I'm not a stupid child

That should be able to control my feelings


You can't make a heartbeat stop

Unless there's blood on the floor


You can't stop my thinking

Unless my brain is in a jar


I love you, but you make it hard

Especially when I'm crying and you say just breath


Hah! Rather not. Thanks for the offer, though.
