My Monster

This monster, born from dreams and fear,

whispers secrets, only he can hear,

It shields him from the world outside,

in its warm presence, he can confide.

 

In every adventure they bravely take,

he feels the joy but knows what's at stake.

For in this heart lies a bittersweet song-

a longing for connection where he feels to belong.

 

He leans close to his furry friend and sights,

"Your love is a treasure, a wonderous surprise.

Yet I must find the strength to venture outside,

to seek my own path where true hearts reside."

 

The monster nods with eyes full of grace,

Its warmth surrounds him like a soft embrace.

"Go forth", it whispers "I'll always be near;

in every shadow, you need to fear."

 

With a deep breath, the boy gathers his might,

ready to face the vast world and its light.

With courage awakened and hope in his soul,

he steps into brightness-feeling whole.
