friends from the other side

I used to cry
And hide
Hoping the shadows would go
Id shake
And moan
Hoping they'd just pass me by

But lo and behold
The demons that once controlled me
Are now my dearest friends

They comfort
They accept
They shelter me from pain
No hurt
No regret
Just numbness and a smile

These demons that have set me free
The monsters from within
Its crazy but now it seems
These demons are my closest friends
