I wasn’t a monster

I crawled under the bed

Because I am the light

I shined too brightly

People began to leave my side

 

I wanted to leave first

I ran away to my bed

I changed my name

I pushed everyone away

Nobody stopped me when I went to hide

 

So under the covers

I kept myself company

I smiled on the outside

Everything was alright

As long as I kept up my mask

 

I can’t believe you were fooled so easily
