Childhood monster
Parents are supposed to be a child’s best friend
Not mine
Mine is my childhood nightmare
Parents are supposed to wipe tears away
not be the one to cause them
Parents are supposed to be someone you can trust with your little secrets
not be scared when you see them
Parents are supposed to build you up
not break you down
Parents are supposed to fix your heart after a breakup
not be the one to break it in the first place
Parents are supposed to be someone to scare away the monsters under your bed
not be the monster
but instead of being my monster under the bed
you are the monster in the room next to me
you look like my parents
but you aren’t
Parents are supposed to be your childhood best friend
not the monster in the room next to me.
