My Demons

People say they understand,

But they cannot see.

That even though I fake a smile, 

There are demons inside of me.

I tried to break free of them,

And get rid of all my fear.

But only they seem to know,

There is pain behind every tear.

No one else can see the signs,

But my demons will always care. 

They say they will love me forever,

Leave them?
I would not dare.

My demons help me through life, 

And decipher what's right and wrong,

I will never be without them,

For they have been there all along.

The devil is inside of us,

You can't escape him,

Don't you see?

You cannot run forever,

Because your demon,

Is me.
