The Forgotten Monsters Underneath a Child’s Bed

There are, those, forgotten monsters underneath a child’s bed, that you, as parents, neglected to, sweep out, to keep your young children safe in the nighttime.

The forgotten monsters underneath a child’s bed, what? You didn’t think, that they’re just going to, wither away, did you? ‘Cuz they don’t die that easily! The forgotten monsters underneath the child’s bed, sure, your child may grow OUT of those fearful nights, that s/he feared that the monsters will come out, and drag her/him out and MURDER her/him, but, even as those monsters were forgot (suppressed is more like it!!!), they’d really not, been killed.

not my art…

The forgotten monsters, underneath a child’s bed, it’s, their, permanent place of residence, and, handing them that 30-Day Eviction notice still won’t exorcise them from the children’s lives. The forgotten monsters, underneath a child’s bed, they’re all, waiting, for the time to STRIKE again, and, maybe, you’d, outgrown your monsters, but, who’s to say, that those monsters, won’t be revitalized, and, haunt your own young?

The forgotten monsters underneath the child’s bed, they’re not, really, forgotten now, are they? Nope, they’re all, just too tired, for now, for haunting your young for so many god DAMN nights, that they’re, taking a FIVE, but, they will be back again, and again, and again, and, it’s still, ALL because of your (the adults’) carelessness, AND stupidity, and FAILURE to pay attention!

not my comic still…
