Scary night monsters

When you're little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding right under your bed, next to the refrigerator or behind the television. You are afraid that if you go near them in the dark they'll eat you up or will pounce on you. And you.. will not be able to run from there. Hence, you're scared. When your mom tells you she needs water or switch off the television  and lights when you're the last person in the room you look at her like she's asked you do kill someone. The terror cannot be seen in your eyes but your hear beats faster. Inside you're making plans on tackling the monster if it were to come.

When you get older the monsters are different. Self doubt, Regret, Loneliness, Responsibilities etc. You see yourself staring at the dark often. Realizing that its not that easy to fight these monsters. These are the ones that grow within us. You ponder upon incidents and happenings around you. You analyse your position with respect to others. Often the analysis leads you to the monsters. You are often reminded by your friends and family of the monsters that are hovering over your head. You may act wiser and handle these monsters. Chances are you will win from them too because you are driven by your inner will and passion. 

But no matter how older and wiser you are , you still find yourself scared of these dark monsters.
