Image for the poem My Demon

My Demon's

I've been fighting this for far too long, I can't hold back much longer my demons are clawing to the surface.
As I watch the world move around me my demons are consuming me.
With every breath I take it gets harder to breathe, with every step I take it gets harder to see.
As my vision fades darkness arises, as I look up I see the demons breaking free from their prisons.
As the darkness encloses on me, I realize my demons are taking over.
I've been at war with them for years trying to keep them from showing themselves.
As time goes on I realize I'm losing this battle, when my demons surface it won't be good.
For I know what lies ahead, they have shown me what they will do.
I have seen what becomes of me for my demons have consumed me.
As I hold them off, their urges and desires grow stronger, as I'm fighting my demons alone I'm losing this war.
The only way to stop this war within myself is to let my demons out.
