This light of mine by: Luis V


This light of mine by: Luis V

This light of mine goes dim tonight 

Will I die tonight?

Flames are everywhere 

I see Satan

Satan's presence is so dark 

He wants me to make a reservation

My demons laugh at me

My heart is racing

Now I feel like I’m going to die

My anxiety brings me down

This light of mine goes dim tonight 

Will I be alright?

No answer tonight

Now I just  want to die

My demons and the devil are telling me

Slit your wrist 

Be like Lizzy and you might end up killing yourself like she did

I started crying, My face turned red

Now I’m mad

I slit my wrist in front of them 

They start laughing as I start screaming 

But then My horns come in

Luis Demon is now taking control over my body

Stronger than ever

He kills my demons and tells the devil

I’m the only demon allowed in this kid

And he stabs the devil

The devil in shock poofed away

My demon said to me

I couldn’t just watch you and start slitting your wrist again

So I had to do something about it

I’m sorry it had to be like this though

I told him it’s fine

I was starting to regret it the minute I started doing

He gave me hug

And he went back inside of me

For once I felt at peace with my demon

I wonder what he is up to though.
