One day, I will vanish. 

I will disappear 

in my head. 

Whether it is for a moment, 

an hour, 

a day. 

Mentally, I will cease to exist. 

I will take my day off 

and go on a hunting trip. 

My quest will not include guns, 

nor traps or knives. 

No weapons will be needed. 

I will travel into my mind 

and pursue the demons 

whom nest in my skull. 

I will terminatethose pests 

that poison my thoughts, 

warping them into 

misery and despair. 

I will exterminate 

these menacing creatures 

that convert hope into food 

made of desolation and sorrow. 

One day, I shall get revenge 

on these monsters 

who havealtered 

my life of happiness 

 into one filled with 

fear and depression. 

When I gather the courage 

and that day of revision arrives,

 you demons better run. 

You better conceal yourselves 

in the darkness you have made, 

because when I find you 

every ounce of mercy 

 that my frail body contains, 

will be drained from my bones, 

and I will show you 

what a demon really is.
