Stupid Monkey

In the shadows
Of my house
I can sense
The monkey
Looking for me

He's out there
In the window
Eyes penetrating
Trying to seek
And find me

Without warning
He's reaching
Through the window
That's when the
Trouble begins

I run to
The next room
Only to find my
Anxieties brought
That monkey again

Over and over
Through the house
This monkey mayhem
Plays out with
Never an end

Monkey and me
Ape and boy
Chimp and child
Fear and hope
Foe and friend

Alone with my
Fears in the
Silence of darkness
I keep running
Wishing him gone

But it's darkness'
Silence and these
Loathsome fears
That continue to
Feed my Kong

And my parents
Deafness surpassing
My own in their
Inability to
Help me escape

They're oblivious
And detached
So I'm left alone
To deal with
This fucking ape

Call me brave
Or even weak
But I couldn't
Stop the king
Of psycho attacks

So I wonder
Once he's left
How long till
That stupid monkey
Will be back
