Demons Inside

Some days I feel as if I could rule the world,
while other days I can't even get out of bed.
When I'm not feeling an overwhelming sense of joy,
I'm usually just trying to escape the thoughts in my head.

The demons that barged in long ago
constantly linger behind every word and every thought of mine.
They enjoy convincing me that I'll never be good enough,
as I try to smile and hide the pain inside.

Despite my never ending efforts to improve,
I don't seem to be gaining any type of control.
I'll always try my hardest to care for those in need,
but I truly can't be bothered to save my own soul.
