A beautiful day

A monster came to my head last night,
It drove all my daydreams away.
It asked me to give it my innermost thoughts,
I didn't know what to say.
It grew and it grew till my thoughts all spilled out,
Crying and screaming outside.
I scrambled to push them back in again,
I thought that I must have died.
Blackness and darkness, nothing but space,
The silence was deafening to me.
The monster came back to finish me off,
But this time I'm ready you see.
I dreamt of a meadow, a peaceful place,
The monster it couldn't get in,
It tried to break down the wall I had built,
But I knew I was going to win.
The monster was thrashing and writhing about,
But I kicked it and pushed it away.
It got down on its knees and begged me to leave,
I awoke to a beautiful day.
