The Demon Within

I have a side that knows pain,

it virtually destroys my brain

though I smile and she’s few tears,

i have been plagued by this demon for years

he knows my weakness and my desire,

to satisfy myself like a bird soaring higher

and in the end when all I have left is shame,

he plots again and again driving me insane

i have no fear of lying six feet deep,

cause maybe by then I will finally know peace

but as I awake and face each day,,

the demon from within and says I am here to stay
