Demon

I'm becoming my worst fears,
letting the demon ruin my mind.

I don't know how it so easily takes me
& rips away the sanity I once had.

Such a terrible thing that's inside me,
yet I don't know anything besides it.

For years it has tried to become me,
so many times it's failed- but it's winning now.

I'm terrified of what it will do,
what will become of me if I give up this fight.

The things that will become of myself,
the horrors I didn't want to get caught up in.

That's what this demon will do when it takes over me,
when my last shred of strength is obliterated.

Maybe I'll feel peace inside,
instead of the raging battle between who I am and who it will make me.
