Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck
outside of my own body.
Like I've been purged from my own self
To save me from the perils within.
But when I'm inside, I forget the perils
They become my new normal.
After 19 years I've learned
To become one with my demons.
It is when I'm trapped outside,
That I'm forced to watch the demons
Take over my unassuming soul
Turning it into a demon itself.
So now when I watch from the outside
I see my own soul shatter me from within,
And I just sit and watch
As I am destroyed.
