The Devil Inside

Contributed by Ensis718 on Friday, 14th December 2012 @ 06:45:57 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

I am weary and tired inside,
Long have I waged war
Against this demon in disguise.

It haunts me everyday,
Fills my mind with thoughts of dark and distrust,
For now I fear of everyone around me
And see no more light at the end of the tunnel.

For all its influence,
I dream of blood and dancing knives,
Curdling screams and silent tears,
Watching and waiting for the release
I know won't be there.

This demon,
Long have I fought,
Has continued winning the battle,
And I am losing hope that I will win the war.

I grow drained and drowsy with each sword I draw,
Be it pencil or brush
Or the tip of a tale,
But no matter what worlds I wear
Or what word I utter,
The devil inside whispers all the same,
No hope of silence to be near.

It has stolen sleep from me,
For now I bear sunken lids
And darkened shadows underneath them.
It has stolen life from me,
For now everything is black and white
And nothing of interest to consider.
It has stolen my very human nature,
For now I can no longer bear
To look into the mirror
Without a flinch or a tear to slip past my dead lids.

I am that devil.
And that devil is me.

How can I put up with this?
This devil which smirks at me in the mirror each and every morning,
This demon which turns my human self into its own spitting image
With each and every unkind word uttered in my wake.

I am slowly becoming the daughter of the night,
And very soon,
I will never be myself again.

But I already know
That I am no longer human,
So has my intrigue diminished
In the human life.

Devils befit me more,
And for all of my leftover morality and blackened soul,
I cannot for the life of me remember anymore
Why it was I was so scared in the first place.
