The Demon

by Ragecrisis - Leo

The thoughts that I have
they tear me apart
rip me open and expose my badness.
no one else can see that however.
The thoughts that I have make me cry
make me weep
Why do I weep?
I have no answer only questions
jumbled in my head.
Why do I do this to myself?
What is wrong with me?
Am I not good enough for attention?
Why can I not be happy?
These are the questions that keep me awake
Won't let me sleep
torment my mind
How can I do better?
Waht am I doing wrong?
The demon in my head won't let me answer
for these questions are not good for him
These questions also plague me, however
but the demon is too strong
He keeps me down and won't let me 
see anything but negative
I cannot force the demon away, however
because the demon inside of me
is me.
