razor tongue of the demonic
i write to exorcise my demons
torturers of my psyche
i call them out by name
this one is pain
he loves the agony of others
another is jealousy
he seeks to outshine the rest
the others go by soul sucker
they'll drink you dry if they can
they confound me with disguises
appearing as a being of light
a guide to enlightenment
just to find my inner voice
further caged
deep in the labyrinth of my mind
they hunt me here
when i'm alone in my nightscapes
i feel as they approach
no matter the face they wear
their deadly intent is felt
when i awaken they whisper
it's just demon play
though deep down
i know
they seek to silence the real me
to use me as a marionette
speaking words that bite
serve it up cold
with revelations they alone know
about some unwitting soul
they show me things
i don't wish to have knowledge of
deep inside the minds
of others they probe
& use me to cut
the sensitive flesh of the innocent
when one is naked they point it out
i look away taking no pleasure
in another's shame
i write to exorcise my demons
be ware they go for the throat
i speak the truth
no guile will you find
i shine light on them
so they can no longer hide
