Battle Within

Am I even awake?
Or have I made another mistake?

Waiting in the dark for any sound,
Expect the ones in my head to resound.

Broken thoughts come just in time.
As I battle within my mind.

Lying lifeless on the floor
While demons knock at the door.

"Leave me be." I plead,
I try to close them but my eyes begin to bleed.

More of them are coming now with a tap on the frame.
Each is desperately searching for someone to blame.

They need a reason, a voice of insanity.
To explain why they lost their humanity.

I'm at the door, I've pushed back the hinge.
The cold cuts me like a knife but I dare not cringe.

The child within me cries
As I stare deep into frozen eyes.

Brown, cold. Yet fake...
Am I even awake?
