The night casts shadows
creating safe havens for monsters,
as I say my prayers before bed.
I shut my closet door
and check under the bed
as I drag my feet across the floor.
My parents kiss me goodnight,
before they close my bedroom door
out of sight,
I look around my room once more.
There in the corner
I see a monster lurking,
as I seek refuge under the cover.
My heart races,
I couldn't make out the faces
so I let out a yell.
My parents came a running,
as my fear was consuming,
until the lights came on.
That's when I saw
that my monster was really
a basketball.
