Demons are not all teeth
They are not only claws
Sometimes they are given to us
And sometimes they are simply flaws

The words meant to harm
Hurt the inside more than we know
They rip you up in your head
Until you have no place to go

They fill you with self doubt
Making you the one you hate
And all the tears you cry
They won't change this fate

Demons are more than horns
They are more than scales
They are the times you couldn't
And those moments when you fail

They are the smile in the dark
Of the one who hurt you the most
A whisper in your mind
Lingering like a sinister ghost

Demons are always with us
They are never really gone
This demon is me
Tell me am I wrong
