sometimes I'm a child
I can never tell when it's about to happen
sometimes it's when
I lie in bed
on a cold, lonely morning
or when I'm afraid
of other people
and what they can do
sometimes I'm a child
everything is clothed in fear
the world is a scary place
but that doesn't matter
because I am an adult
and I cannot give in
to these feelings of vulnerability
I cannot acknowledge weakness
I must be confident at all times
because if I'm not now
the monsters will come in
and destroy me
