Choking on Reality

Demons

I sit silently, absorbing the lies I'm fed,
The voices screaming inside my head.
I don't know what you're talking about
The symphony of my insanity pouring out

I can't bear the pain your words bring
You speak to me as if I'm nothing
As if you don't care how deeply your words cut me
I'm breaking down, can't you see?

Then I realise that I'm only breaking on the inside
I'm still smiling pleasantly on the outside
I'm nodding as my heart aches
Holding back the tears as my being breaks

Then suddenly you're gone
Leaving soul is twisted and torn
The demons creep into the space you occupied
At least they would care if I died.
