The Monsters Inside of Me

Sat, 11/22/2014 - 01:37 -- bethg

Sometimes I think the demons inside of me aren't gone but dormant sleeping inside of me.

I can feel them wake and stir so I know they were never truly gone, just pushed deep down and locked away yet the only thing keeping them down is a small rusty chain that's ready to give way any second now.

I fear that one day this chain will break and i'll be torn apart from the inside out,

and I know they will win because they always do no matter how hard I fight they are much stronger and thats what keeps me up at night.

I fear for my life but not only mine because once they get loose and wreak havoc on my soul they wont stop there.

No they will jump to my loved ones to let them know that they have won. 

For they will bring up everything that I once was, and they will be like leaches sucking out your soul. So once they reach their goal they will have a new home inside of you and try to make you fall, just like they did to me.

So dont cry when I have lost my battle and lay in my grave, because my battle has just become yours. 

And my only wish is that you will be much stronger then me,

and make those demons know that they have lost their war.
