Demons

I'm sinking

No.

I'm being pulled

So deep,

I may as well just swim down.

There's so much pain

But you can't see it

Nobody can

My eyes hide the tears

Because I'm so broken I can't cry

My sleeves cover my scars

Because I've dulled all my blades

They're after me

Dragging me into the darkness

With no mercy

They bite away at what makes me human

They kick me and scratch me and make me bleed

I hurt all over

You read this poem thinking it was about demons

But it's not

It's about the human race.
