“My Demons”
I walked over to the mirror
and I looked at my reflection
My hands were shaking
My face aglow
I didn’t want to see them
I didn’t want to let them in
I didn’t want them to come
I didn’t want to let go
I cried
and I screamed
But no one heard me
Only my demons
Who wanted to take me
I tried to make them stop
I tried to block them out
But, my demons wouldn’t leave
They were here to stay
and here to haunt me
They wouldn’t let me forget
They filled me with unwanted regret
I kicked
and I punched
I begged
and I plead
But, my demons didn’t let me go
They wanted me dead
I wouldn’t let them get to me
I wouldn’t let them win
Because I knew if they did,
It would be the biggest sin
Now my demons are gone
Don’t ask me how I did it
That’s for you to wonder
and for me to forget
