My Demons by ~IamNoOne22FL:iconIamNoOne22FL:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Horror & Macabre > Fixed




To my left there sits a demon
Resting upon my shoulder
He is always with me, watching
His gaze keeps getting colder
I know the purpose he exists
For he is my past, you see
And never this will I forget
As he reminds what happened to me
To my right no angel is found
That presence I do not deserve
But instead a second demon
My torment, it's job to preserve
This demon does not look at me
For only ahead he stares
Making sure nobody gets close
Destroying anyone who cares
Some day I may defeat them both
But I know it is not this day
For at my worst do they take over
They keep me alive that way
So do not try to help, you can't
I need them more than ever
For if they were to leave me now
My ties to this life would sever

A play on the old cartoons I guess....sadly enough I wrote this sitting on the steps right outside of church....heh

made some edits, improved the flow(I think) and tried to cut down on sentence inversion.

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. ~~ Dee Hock

No problem... totally worth it... I think we all of that demon inside that is always reminding us of our past... I know I certainly have one and as much as I would like to forget all of my past and get rid of this demon, I just can't... it makes me who I am and keeps me inline.
