Where My Darkness Lies

We all have our demons.

For most, it can be in the form of a mental illness.

But what if the demons that haunt you in your dreams, or in your every day life, aren't just a part of your psyche?

What if, they were actual, real life demons?

What if, the voices you hear telling you how "worthless" and "stupid" and "undeserving" you are, are not just a part of your mental illness, but a real life demon?

But, what would you do, if that (real) demon started asking, or down right telling you to do things?

Terrible, unforgiving things - like killing your own family, or the neighbor, or really anyone, for that matter.

What if, it found a way to control you, and made you watch as it killed someone you cared deeply for, while using your body to do so?

What would you do? How would you feel?

(Again, I'm really sorry if this is a shitty description, but I honestly didn't know what to put. Oh, and if it seems like I'm saying mental illnesses are just real demons in disguise, I'm really not, I just tried to make this sound all deep and shit. So don't come for me in the comments, I know how some of y'all can get, because that's really not what I was trying to make it sound like at. All.)
