My Demons

I've been knocked down,
Broken down,
Beaten down,
Kicked while I was already down.
Left with my demons,
Locked in a cage with torturing thoughts,
There were creatures living inside me,
And monsters taking over my mind.
Crying constantly,
Breaking quickly,
Thinking negatively,
Coping terribly.
Pretending I was fine,
Fake smiles, fake laughs, dry eyes
But nothing was okay,
I was alone with myself.
Screaming with no sound,
There was only silence,
Salty tears,
And torturing thoughts.
Silent screams are like,
Drowning but no one sees you struggle,
You're on your own,
It's only you and your demons.
My demons can't save me,
They're the ones killing me,
But they comforted me,
When no one else would.
I couldn't keep away from my demons,
Because they've always been there.
Once I thought they were gone,
They found me again.
Breaking me down,
Luring me into their trap,
I was in so deep,
Until I couldn't break free.
Suffocating on my thoughts,
Letting the tears flow,
Lost all control,
I was giving up.
