Darkest Demons

When I was little I wanted to be just like you
I wanted to have a big family who loved me
I wanted to have a smile that could warm a room
But when I was little
I was naive
I didn't realize who you were
The anger you held inside
So close to your heart
The demons you let slip
Who took over my dad
And turned him into sir
Who took the man I loved so much
And made me hide under my bed
Those demons took over your life
I can feel them taking over mine
I'm not the same naive little child anymore though
I am stronger
I am brave
But deep down I want to crawl up under the sheets
I want to tuck away and never wake up
Because I can feel the demons
They've turned my heart black
They've made me angry
They've made me mean
And they've turned me into everything I promised I would never be
They turned me into you daddy
And they wont go away
But you're not my daddy anymore
at least thats what they say
You wont save me from these demons who took you away
They stole you and they wont give you back
But daddy I've grown up
And I don't want to be like you
I don't want a big family
It's only more people I can hurt
And I never want to hurt anyone the same way you hurt me
Because nightmares don't go away with a hug
And I cant hide under my bed anymore
I miss the real you daddy
But nobody can miss the real me
and I think shes gone forever now
Aren't you happy daddy?
I'm just like you

Wow! I got goosebumps reading this, it's one of those pieces that make you say, " I wish I wrote that". It's very intriquing and captivating. It's very dark and creative also. Thank you for sharing this.
