My Demons Haunt Me

My demons haunt me

Every day
Every night
I fight to keep them at bay
I struggle to hold on to the light

My demons haunt me

I fight something they'll never see
Only because it's in my head
I've stopped being me
'It'll get better', everyone said

My demons haunt me

Even when I think I'm better
I stumble and fall once more
I often think of writing that letter
And it shakes me to my core

My demons haunt me

But a promise holds me here
And maybe that's for the best
But still, it leers
And I'm starting to fear it less

My demons haunt me

That fear has me broke
And every step is harder than before
But still I cling to hope
And pray for more

My demons haunt me

I close my eyes
And breathe it out
Reliving all my lies
And hearing all my doubts

My demons haunt me

I open my eyes
And breathe it in
Staring at a blank sky
I accept every sin

My demons haunt me

I don't ask for anything
And I expect nothing
But I know there's something
A change for one thing

My demons haunt me

But they no longer control me
