Door's In My Head (A Poem)

There are doors in my head

Hiding the monsters that scare me the most,

The demons that keep me awake at night,

Shadows that dog my every step

 

I will them to stay shut

Pushing my weight against them,

Blocking the handle with tables and chairs

But the doors never fully close

 

The black dog prowling at a distance

Catching his tail out the corner of my eye,

His stale breath  teasing my nostrils

Reminds me the doors will never shut

 

It’s only a matter of time

Before the doors  will fling open

And the monsters will be let loose

Leaving death in its path of destruction
