My Demon Inside

 I walk along the beaten path

kicking the pebbles with my feet
my head hung low
arms wrapped around me

I see the dark shadows
looming behind the trees
calling me
taunting me
wanting me to play

I fight you from entering
I can’t listen to you
for what you say are lies
yet, you try so hard

you tell me no one cares
no one listens
your not even worth it
you know how to enter
I hate you for that

you come in so quiet
you enter my dreams
you slither in like a snake
I keep watching you

looming behind me
around me
I feel you
breathing down my neck
whispering in my ear
you are not wanted

I need you to stop
i need to breathe
your dark fingers
wrap around my neck

wanting me to breathe you in
you want me to come with you
you want me to believe you
I can’t, I won’t

I will fight you
You can’t win this time.

Can You Hear Me

  The tall dark shadows loom above Looking up to find that peace Lost in the world Standing alone Calling out “can anyone hear me” No reply ...
