this is an old monologue.

mama,
please don't close the door
i can't sleep without the lights on
the monster beneath my bed
may pull out my cold feet and drag me
to the reality of my ambitious brain
and i'm terrified by the mirror
next to the dying candle bein'
blown by the window air
i'm terrified.

mama,
please don't send me to sleep yet
i long for a fairytale book to serenade me
with the tender pillow of your voice
please have me read one more
i'm terrified of another nightmare
i'm terrified of another downfall
or a restart.
i'm terrified.

mama,
where are you?
i search all around the house
but i can't find you now
i can't sleep without you now
my mind's busy thinkin' 'bout
the mistakes i've done
and may still be doing
my mind's a frog
terrified to jump off the river
i'm terrified.
