NO SUCH THING Don’t be afraid of the dark There’s no such thing as monsters Don’t dwell on horror stories Or any of that nonsense Don’t bother looking under the bed You’ll find no demons there Don’t listen too hard either To the creaking of the stairs Don’t see the face of a vampire Reflected in the glass Don’t fear the cloak of darkness The night time will soon pass Ignore the thoughts Racing round your head Dismiss any stories Of werewolves or the undead Could there really be A walking cadaver? With eye balls white And a mouth that slavers Even if reality Could be stretched There’s wouldn’t be any place here For that kind of wretch “They’ve got pointed teeth!!” “And they fly like bats!!” Tell me honestly Do you believe that? Cowled, and caped And sleeping in a coffin Even if you suspend reality And believe in fantasy crossing The ever shifting line between Fact and fiction To a netherworld Full of contradiction. As night is banished By the breaking dawn You’ll see a fold in the blanket Is the Devil’s spawn. What you imagined In the dark was nonsense Because you see There’s no such thing as monsters. © By: - Pete Slater.
