Making of the Devil in Me

Watching the moments of life pass,
as if from the outside.
Wishing I could retrogress
to the sunlight shining
on that midsummer’s day:
a little girl, in a beautiful dress

Grasping for some sanity;
want to remain me tonight
and not become this monster
that ruined us inside,
turned the light to darkness,
made the devil out of
the little girl in me

People keep telling me
no worries it’ll be alright:
things they don’t know,
can’t hurt them.
They’re worrying is not helping;
I’m crying tears of pain tonight.

Grasping for some sanity;
want to remain me tonight
and not become this monster
that ruined us inside,
turned the light to darkness,
made the devil out of
the little girl in me

This battle is dwindling down:
I feel the finish is near,
and this blood stained path
shall be the end of me
I truly fear,
I will be the end of me

Grasping for some sanity;
want to remain me tonight
and not become this monster
that ruined us inside,
turned the light to darkness,
made the devil out of
the little girl in me

i know how it feels to think you are consumed by darkness, and no one understands. its good that you wrote it down. let the pain just flow through you. it will help. it was really good. i really liked it.

Thank you for your comment; it is great to know that someone else out there understands what I am going through. I find it ironic I write my best when I am depressed, but it comes up with some of the most interesting works like this one. Thank you again for your comment and feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
