The demons are gone.

They haven't came out in so long.

I used to think it would be better like this,

I thought I could even be happy.

Now I know I was wrong.

Because happiness is a state of mind – just like depression.

The only difference is that happiness is nothing but bliss

and sadness...

sadness is time consuming.

Sadness is a beautiful tragedy.

So very addicting,

like meth, LSD or crack.

Although I am not happy (nor am I sad)

I now realize that my demons are a part of who I am

and somehow in a twisted way I need them.

Like plants need the light,

or like the blind need guides.

I know I may sound crazy,

(well maybe I am)

but I do not care

who knows? Maybe I am,

And I know,

I should not be saying this,

but I am praying that tonight is the night they

finally come out.
