TRIGGER WARNING

I'm a slave to the demons

The ones with leather skin

Red eyes like the blood

that use to fall my skin,

from a blade I use to call

my friend

A distant memory, I cannot find

Of a time when I couldn't survive

My skin was freezing, under ice

I couldn't see myself in mirror

reflection vanished like the

fog from early morning mist

I was tortured and executed

To a land where insecurities lied

Forcefed words so vile,

even satan cried

My air with think with smoke,

I was choking slowly

The demons laughed, they taunted

Their voices tiking at my brain

I screamed for silence, the louder

They screamed

I begged for attention, I needed a

Distraction

From the monsters brewing under

A small thred

I was dizzy and empty, the darkness

Pulling me in

Handing me a cup

Of pure sin, drinking it up like

Alcohol from a small cup

Sending me through a painful

Esctasy that was worse than than

The knife that slashed my skin

Marks of silence

When I needed to be free

Late night showers, left too clean

Wrapping the damage

I didn't plan to commit

Hoping the voices would

Let me sleep at least for a night

But it seems futile as they

Come out of the dark,

sinking their claws

Claiming my mind

Like a wolf and its territory

My reflection missing, I still cannot find

The girl I once was

Before I withdrew from the light

The darkness my kidnapper

Locked in a cell

The demons laughing at the pain

They inflict like throwing knives

Into my freezing skin

This is my nightmare

Late at night in bed

That the demons will drag me back

To lay damage again

To rip apart my mind

And lay waste to my soul

Leaving my heart to bleed

Out

That is their goal

To slowly drive me insane

Until I am gone

I am the girl

Trapped inside a endless

Cycle, hoping to never use

The only friend

That silences the monsters

That pushes the demons far

From the edges of my mind

To the dark cages I have created

I am winner

But I have lost

I am insane

But I am sane

I am a Slave
To the demons
Haunting me.
