The Monster In The Closet. David Baker
You try to sleep,
But you know it's there,
Lurking in the dark,
Waiting quietly behind the door,
For a chance to make it's mark.
You close your eyes,
And to no suprise,
The door begins to creek,
The monster is on the move again,
And it wants your fear to eat.
Your body shakes in terror,
Fingers tipped by sweat,
You know now by the sounds you hear,
It's moved under your bed.
To scared to close your eyes,
Yet afraid to know what's there,
This monster from your closet,
It walks within your ear.
At last, your saviour,
The bedside lamp,
It will distinguish all your fears,
As soon as this weapon is put to use,
The monster disapears.
You live to fight another day,
But you know you're on your own,
This creature strikes in darkness,
When it knows you're all alone.

"Great, loved it. Glad it came out so well, keep it up." -- Josh / AxeY.
"cheers, thanx josh.." -- bakes.
"This sounds like a closet homosexual to afraid to come out and show his true(rainbow) colors. The first stanza: Trying to live a lie, sleep on it, but it's still there...lurking. Second stanza: Close your eyes, but it is still trying to come out, "The monster is on the move again, it wants to wat your fear." The truth wants to come out and is fighting. Third: This is the first gay sex expierence; "Your body shakes in terror, fingers tipped by sweat." This lie is beginning to become a reality. Fourth: To scared to come out with it, afraid to know the truth, "It walks within your ear" The truth isn't leaving without a fight. Fifth: Your saviour, the ability to date a girl to hide everything, to cover it all up. As soon as this "weapon" is put to use the rumors disappear. All is forgotten. Sixth: You live another day considered a straight man, another day to lie, but you're still on your own with this one. "This creature strikes in the darkness, when it knows that you're all alone." Nice work with this one, very clever even if you weren't going for this. I thought it was fun." -- Brodie J Hughes.
"WTF!!,that's nowhere near the point of the poem, but thanx for the review anyway i guess.." -- baker.
