Hello, my inner demon
Hello, is anyone there?
Where am I?
All I can see is darkness.
Where did all the light go?
Why do I feel so terrible?
What happened to the joy, the happiness that I once knew?
Oh hello there,
Are you here to help me?
No, your not are you?
No one is,
It seems like no one has ever been.
NO, PLEASE, I DON’T WANT TO BE TAKEN DEEPER IN THE DARKNESS!
Wait, I know you are one of my inner demons,
But can’t you stay for a while?
I’ve been alone for so long,
I’ve even come to realize that I would leave me if I could.
So, inner demon, flee,
You no longer need be punished by torturing my soul.
Yes, flee into the darkness,
Let the others earn their horns,
For you have done your part, dear demon.
You should be proud,
You’ve proven many people wrong.
You’ve completed your job of destroying my hope,
You’ve murdered my dreams and wishes,
You’ve made me realize that these goals will never be reached.
HA! What a fool I was!
I actually believed that love was somewhere out there.
For a while, I thought that I had finally found my way out into the light.
But now I understand,
I hadn’t found anything,
You had merely manipulated my mind to make me think that I saw light,
When the truth was you were simply leading me deeper in the darkness.
So, demon, be proud,
For you have destroyed all my hopes, dreams, and wishes.
I stand here before you, defeated,
Knowing that you will not take pity and end it,
No, you will just simply allow me to live a full length life filled with nothing but darkness.
