“The Demon Within”

Believed to be a friend,

Taking me to new places,

At every turn.

Discovering new sensations,

Helping me to bury the pain and shame,

Yet you have turned.

Becoming a monster within,

Stealing my freedom, in slaving me,

Creating a craziness within,

that none can understand.

Possessing in a way none other could ever do.

Making me forget, all that is important to his life.

Causing me to destroy all around,

Taking me to unseen places.

Creating a person never known,

Taking all dreamed of; everything.

Yet helping me bury the pain and shame,

Helping me forget all,

We continue the path unseen,

Thinking of only you.

I fight to win,

A monster never thought of.
