My Demons

November 29, 2012

Sinking down into the bottomless pit called despair.
Struggling, fighting for one last breath of air.
Wherever I go, I know I'm alone in this fight.
Forgot my way back, don't remember what's right.
My love has run cold, my hope has turned black.
Where have I gone wrong, when did I lose track?
I’ve lost control, can’t find my way home.
I run, but can’t hide from my demons alone.

The darkness closes in around me.
I scream, yell out for someone to find me.
The eyes of red fire, they watch me all night.
My demons will guard me; make sure I’m all right.
People are so cruel with their taunting and teasing.
My mind searches desperately for some missing reason.
Even when I am safe, they will haunt me eternally.
I’ll die eventually from the crippling insanity.
