(deep) remeber when..
A wise person once told me that we are all sane,
but living in an insane world,
and that we all possess inner demons,
but the way we handle our demons
is how we are divided into the two separate categories.
That wise one also continued to say
that my strength came from knowing my demons by name,
and as long as I held them close,
I'd have the power to fight each day.
I laughed to myself, and pushed the demons aside;
I did not heed the warning, thinking,
what would he know about the demons I hold inside.
they are happy and still with their first love,
with nothing evil that has ever touched,
what lesson could I possibly learn.
So I locked my demons away, so far back in my mind,
hoping they would vanish with time,
but in this journey I have chosen,
I have stumbled and fallen.
By ignoring life lessons, my inner child is dying.
I am losing the battle,
the demons are running wild.
They have broken free from their cage,
living just beneath the surface,
screaming with rage.
I noticed today when applying my face,
that the spark of life
was vanishing from my eyes,
and I have never heard a mirror lie.
I leaned a little closer and looked a little deeper,
trying to convince myself the mirror was lying,
but as I looked past,
the false face that everyone sees,
I noticed the insanity taunting me.
A smile passed my lips,
a smile that I feared,
as my sanity danced
with the devils that haunted me.
The longer I looked into this endless void,
the demon faces and their names I knew
after all these untold years,
they smiled and waved and beaconed me near.
I watch their faces pass me by
with a quick glimpse at all the memories,
I choose to hide. I touched the scars.
They still felt new.
the pain of my memories all flooded back, too.
I clutched my stomach and choked back the tears,
but one escaped which showed my fears.
I held my breath, not to hear the sobs,
with the most painful memory that lingered there,
the blood and the bruises flashed through my mind.
This painful memory that haunts me all the time.
It is that of the first demon I knew
who took away my hopes and future, too.
From him this seed was encased,
which welcomed demons to step in, in his place...
