The Demons Within

Topic:
selfstruggles
|
The thoughts are rushing back into mind
Images of crimson flowing freely confirm
Pictures of scored flesh spatter my perceptions
I need to relieve the angst, if only short term
Like a demon within, demanding satisfaction
The voices scream for liberation of the flesh
Ceaseless decree, I have to give in just this once
Memories of my last defeat, still all too fresh
I retrieve my instrument of shame and disgrace
My objective implement of self-harm and release
Its only function is to destroy me from the outside-in
Its only result; to bestow fleeting, but divine peace
I conspire with my blade, praying for sweet closure
I plot its course through my skin, leaving a crimson trail
Instant relief is felt; my inner beast has been exorcised
As always, leaving feelings of repression without fail
For now, my ominous urges have been satisfied
I cower in the shadows until my demons recede
I return my means of indignity to its place in the dark
And wait for another image of evil to plant its seed

| Dark stuff. Good to let it out. Think of yourself as a warrior, bathed in white light, on a horse and holding a white sword with fire coming off it. Then, when prepared, go inside and get the bastards. All the best |

Wow how dark and creepy I shower endless
praise upon you. Yeah every poem you write
is just so great.
"I return my means of indignity to its place in the dark"
That was just an awesome line and cutting
yourself is definitely an "indignity". I'd leave a
more in depth comment, but i am growing
tired. I hope to see more by you soon.
