Demons

I've revealed myself to others
but it always backfired;
I can't risk being hurt again.

 

So I hide in my thoughts
never letting anyone in
to know what's plaguing me.

 

If you looked into my eyes,
you'd see the demons
just below the surface.

 

There's a darkness
deep inside
that I cannot escape,

 

There's a burning fury
boiling just
under my skin.

 

Once I was afraid
to let people
see the real me.

 

Now I'm hesistant to show them
lest they reject me
like all the others.
