Demons

You build walls, but the roof still falls in, and the rain keeps pouring down.

Your clothes are black, but your blood is red.

Thin lines on a white canvas, an artistic expression hidden under wraps.

You build walls, for the sole purpose of discovering who cares enough to tear them down.

---------------------------------------

Rain and blood fall on the black stained glass.

An endless moment, one to never pass.

Who would know? How could they tell,

That inside lives a demon, drawing back to hell?

Fallen teardrops scattered all around,

Lays a body twisted on the ground.

Though they look there, never will they see

The shattered screaming, 'please, don't help me.'

----------------------------------------

It's like being given a death sentence. Even though you're living now, and ought to value what's left of your existence, nothing can take away the inevitability. You have lost all control.

I depend on that which I hated most.

I loathe those who try and save me, for by saving me they also destroy who I am inside.

It's like having a part of you ripped out slowly.

I live with laws based on hypocrisy and double standards, and I ask where justice lies.

But it's like shouting for help in a world of deaf ears, and

no one comes.

Your saving words destroy me.

Each time you open a door, another one closes.

I asked you to listen, but each time I speak, you draw further away.

Don't listen to anything I say.

Can you tell what someone's saying when they're screaming?
