Just Inside Your Head

There’s something in the garden Mum!
There’s something in the shed
It’s come into the hallway now
It’s crawled beneath my bed.

‘There’s nothing there to worry you,
Your safe inside your bed
You needn’t have a worry
It’s just inside your head.’

‘Just inside my head’ she said,
Just inside my head!
I do not need to worry
‘Cos it’s just inside my head.

And that is where they live now
That is where they fled
The dark thoughts and the shadows
They live inside my head

My fears and my self loathing
I keep them fully fed
For that is where they live for now

At least until I'm dead.
