As Difficult as it sounds - My Demon

It's been a long time, I do not even remember my demon's name
,
There was a demon living inside of me for a long time,

He infiltrated my body and mind when I was 19,

He made me feel useless and meaningless,

I will have to admit it was my fault,

I allowed that to happen,

I was too weak,

I was too soft,

I was too fearful,

I did not have the strength to go on,

So I grabbed his arm and walked in is footsteps,

After awhile the demon requested payment,

He told me that I have been leaning on him freely for too long,

He told me that my time was up, and demanded something in return,

All I had to offer was my soul,

Without a fight he tried to take it,

He failed,

Then he tried again,

He failed,

Then he tried again,

He failed,

He just did not know why it was so hard,
What he failed to realize is while I was leaning on him I was gaining confidence and strength from everyone around me,

I was strong enough not to need him,

Infuriated with rage he tried to drive me off the road,

But I was to strong for him,

I cast the demon out,

I told him get your stuff and leave,

With your razor blade smile leave me now,

Reluctantly he left saying one last thing, "I will miss you."

A tear shreds down his face and he closes the door,

Me and the demon had much in common,

It already felt like home to him when he first walked in,

We were two apples from the same tree,

I was his yin and he was my yang,

I look at the door and say "I will miss you more".

Curtain closes. No applause. Just silence.
