Girl Under the Bed

Girl under the bed,
Hiding from monsters she loves,
Who will come save her?
Artist's Note
This piece is a sister haiku to 'Boy in the Closet'. It confronts the brutal reality of child abuse and the cruel paradox that some childeren endure...when the very people meant to love and protect them become the source of their deepest fear.Â
