Mummy I know your frustrated with me and really fed up
But I’m scared of this monster it just wont give up
I want to be brave mummy, I really do
But It’s big, strong and scary
I just don’t know what to do
I am sorry for crying and waking you up
But you help me feel safe and that’s enough
So please help me feel safe and secure
By fighting this monster and showing it the door
Let me explain how this monster makes me feel
It starts in my tummy, I feel a bit icky
And then I start to feel shaky and sweaty
I think about the thing that’s hiding in my room
Will it eat me, crunch me, scare me, BOO!
Instead of getting angry with me mummy, can you just see
I need you to help me, and tell me I’m not being silly
To help me feel better and less scared
To help me see that you’re there
I don’t need to hear that it’s nonsense
That monsters don’t exist
Be with me in these scary times
Help me get through it
