Demon…
I can hear it creeping up behind me
Whispering in the walls as I go by
From the corner of my eye a see a shadow flickering just out of reach
The sound of my heart pounding echos through the night
Can it hear me
Can it see me
Will I know it when it shows it’s face to me
Will it recognize what it is that I have become
Will it look at me and know the demon resides inside of me
I can feel it growing within me
This maddening beast rising higher
Killing off all that is left of the human part of me
Choking me as I struggle to retain who I am
Gasping for air
Leaving me unable to breathe
The darkness envelopes me
Delivering me into a realm I’ll never be free of
But would it matter if I could be freed
For I will never be me
All that is left is the demon who took over me

Wow, this was great! I felt like I was reading about myself. Very well written! Love it!
@boricua_chic_2008 - thank you so much
Very strong post. Great pic to go with it.
Hope all is well.
Demons seem to want attention. Very strong poem.
Real good poem. I’ve been fighting those buggers all my life. So far I’m winning, at least during my waking hours.
I would have to agree with runisom48. Been there, am there, greatest fight of my life. Wishing you peace.
Great writing.
Sounds like a poem I’ve written a few months ago on here. This is really good as I can relate.I’m wishing you peace, as this demon leaves you alone.
