Midnight Hero

Prompt: Midnight Hero

Monsters in my bedroom
Underneath my bed
They're lurking 'neath my mattress
I'm filled with so much dread!

I'm too scared to get up
And run across the room.
I know that if I try it,
It will surely mean my doom.

My voice has gone in hiding
It 's just a tiny squeak.
These monsters really know how
To make you feel so weak.

I'm terrified to do much
More than shake with fear
'Cause monsters' ears are sharp and
I know that they will hear.

Then suddenly he enters
Through my closed bedroom door
And monsters flee before him,
This champion that I adore.

He sees that I am frightened,
This beloved Midnight Hero,
He calms my fears and dries my tears;
My dad, I love him so.
