Poems

My Demon

Late at night I can feel the emptiness

Close my eyes for a second, and there it is

Slowly killing me on the inside

It's everywhere; I can't hide

I'm running from something invisible

I tried to kill it but its invincible

When its shadow claws reach out for me

I cannot breath easily

My silent screams

Are worse than bad dreams

It's tearing me to pieces

It's desire to hurt never ceases

I avoid looking in the mirror

Because then I can see it coming nearer

Even the comforting sound of rain

Could never take away this pain
