Demons within

by Quinn Specht   Nov 15, 2014


Right now, in this moment.....I feel nothing but dispair....nothing but pain.
Why does this have to hit me now? Why do I have to face these demons?
They look into me, with burning eyes....tearing me apart piece by piece.
My angels are all gone. These demons....they have replaced them all.
Don't look at me, don't speak one single word....
All that I can choke out.....is gargles.
Tears, like daggers.
It's all emptiness..
Pain.
Tortchure.
Don't touch me.
My eyes, dark with anger and rage.
I see you...but not like I would like to.
This pain.....I don't want you to feel.
Don't worry about me, I can manage.
I accept my darkness.

    There's a few misspellings here, just be cautious of that next time. I feel in the opening lines you could use dashes or commas, and that maybe the ellipses are a bit too overused. I also think when your voice comes through and very direct like with the line "Don't touch me" you could put that in quotes or even in brackets to distinguish it from the rest somehow.

    I really like the line of "My angels are all gone." like your hope and those who understood you have disappeared. When I think of angels I either think of them fixed in heaven or one by our side like a guardian angel, but now you have me thinking more on terms of those who support us, lift us up on earth that we call our angels.

    Neat concept at the end of accepting the darkness, I don't think I've heard it worded quite like that before. We all have a dark side I believe, and sometimes it seems to control us. Do we banish the darkness or invite it in?

    Keep writing and sharing.
