Demons

Demons in my head, never let me be
wont let me escape, can never flee
never let me sleep, they control my beats
they force bad thoughts, feelings, no retreats

Monsters control my mind, they trigger my hate
they stop me from finding myself, let me stagnate
stop me finding peace, force me down, I slide
to this darkness, a grim hell I reside

Beasts in the brain break my will
snap its goodness, crush it further still
ground you down, grind you out, further, deeper underneath
leave you fearing defeat, if you fail to stop and breathe

The phantoms that ignite my thoughts, fire my emotion
they leave me a charred husk, a rage fueled pile of ashes, an explosion
my self hate breaks me down, led by ghouls around,
my mind a fragile state, one escape, one way forward, write it all down

So as the creepy beings surround me, I can see a way free
a way to be me, no need to create a fiction or an unreal me
show the true me, not hiding in the dark, away from the world at large
stop listening to the deathly voices, and take charge

Thanks for reading,
Kyle.
