The Demon In Me

A Collection of Poems

There's a demon in me, a wretched being,
Goring my spirit and crushing my feelings,
Destroying the last bits of my self-esteem,
While shoving away the ones who love me.

There's a demon in me, an evil thing,
Lying, thieving, sinning, and thriving,
I feed it because it has imprisoned me,
My heart's locked in a cage, and it's taken my body.

There's a girl in this world, whose heart beats weakly,
She's lost and afraid, doesn't know what's happening,
She wants to be good, but she doesn't know how,
She has a demon inside her, and it's tearing her down.
