The Demons Laugh

I sit all alone in my empty room

Wondering what it would be like happy

Then I hear I laugh,

A laugh all to familiar

It's my demons.

They laugh at my thought of happiness

"You'll never be happy!" They say into my head

They tell me I deserve to die

That I deserve to burn in hell.

So I sit in my room and listen

I listen to the demons laugh

I listen to the things they say

Taking a blade across my skin.

Once they told me to hang myself

I screamed at them to go away

But all they did was laugh

Another time they told me to jump

That no one cared.

But I sat in my empty room thinking

No one will care

No one will know

So why not? And let these demons go.

I looked at my skin one last time

It's not like anyone could love me

With these horrid white lines

And my suicidal mind.

So that night I listened to the demons laugh

I took that pretty blade and did what they said

Cut deeper.

And deeper.

And deeper.

So we'll go away.

And that silent night the last thing I heard

Was the demons laugh

And say "you stupid girl, we'll never go away."
