I Have Childhood Memories

Once upon a time
when I was once
a child
I went to bed
at night.
A slice of light
stood in my
doorway
Otherwise
dark dark dark
Closet door
open a bit
Monsters lived there!
Under my bed too!
If we giggled
If we played
My giant Dad
Yelled shut up
Or I will come
You'll be sorry
I faced the Monsters
Alone
And to this day
my closet door
stays SHUT.
