Some context.
I often write from the perspective of an alternate personality, in this case Peter, a child alternate who thinks he’s a ghost. I first posted this piece in July 2016.

The Monsters are Back
Today was a week and now is a year.
Grief

Grieving
It’s 1958; monsters are everywhere.
They hiss faggot as I walk with my
head bowed.
They gather in packs and surround me.
I freeze in horror and shame.
It’s 2018 and the monsters are back.
I know these monsters;
They killed me when I was five.
