Demon Within

(Cover made by @Infin1ty_y)

I walked along the edge of the sidewalk near the buildings that towered over my small figure.

I stop to turn and look down a long, dark alley.

I can feel the urge inside me, the pictures running through my head, the images that are too gruesome to be okay to think about.

I close my eyes.

I was so mad at myself, then. I couldn't be any more disgusted than I already was.

I opened them to see nothing there, no people, no animals.

No souls to take. No lives to end.

I should have been relieved or happy.

Yet, I screamed my pain out, anyway.
