Thoughts, Words, Feelings

Demon

The demon inside rises

She wants to start a fight

She wants to unleash her evil

I can feel her rage

I can feel it in my chest

The black cloud that surrounds her fills my chest

I can feel the tightness in my chest

I feel the cloud

I feel the cloud as it grows with intensity

Bubbling in my chest

I take a deep breath and sing a happy song

I push the demon down in hope's she'll stay down

Alas, she fights back fierce than ever before

I plaster on my smile and go about my day

Not wanting bystanders to view my struggle

But the demon keeps on fighting

My heart rate increases, I feel flushed

The demon's cloud spreads and spreads

Like a fierce and mighty storm

From my chest to my shoulders to my arms

Down my stomach and to my legs

And finally, to my head

I feel weak, but I keep fighting

My body trembles and my visions fades

I thought I was standing, but now I'm sitting

I'm losing control, I'm being restrained

The demon and I fight, I do into a daze

Words are being spoken, breaking me from the daze

I focus on the words, my body feels tired

The demon's cloud starts to disperse

I'm being lifted up and taken away

My body still trembles

But the demon has receded and the fight is over
