My Demons

The demons inside of me scream “LET US OUT”,
I say “NO”, I say now you must go!

They hear this and laugh,
Will someone with authority please tell them to go on my behalf?

But no one does they just stare right on through,
The shell that is me is no longer true.

Someone had me labeled “handle with care”,
The world saw this and took it as a dare.

Everywhere I turned all I saw was the utmost hate,
I tried to turn and and run but it was too late.

When you look at me I’m sure you will see the person that I always wanted to be.

But on the inside you would see the truth- the demons inside me even stole my youth.

I look around me and all I see is people with laughter and grace,
I turn to grab those things and they just give chase.

Finally I decide I will just take the worlds bate,
Oh shit I think I just sealed my own fate
