Demons
A Poem by Mason Rayburn
I
lie on my bed
as these tears that I shed
reflect my dark mood
These words that I'm writing
as my lip I'm biting
confess the demons that haunt me
The girls that I love
appear white as a dove
even though they are gray at best
I am trapped by religion
in this world I live in
while Hell lurks below
Hell opens wide
for the committer of suicide
since suicide is a sin
So I am forced to wait
as I strive for that pearly gate
even though I will most likely fall short
God's plan it seems is out of reach
since I'm sure our contract I have breached
being a sinner through and through
So as I ponder
I begin to wonder
what waits for me on the other side
Will I reach heaven and paradise
Or be thrust into Hell as my "prize"
Please tell me I do not know
It scares me to think
that I'm on the brink
of falling into fire
I never asked for this life I have
and wish I could give it to someone who would have
used it more wisely than I
Now the day will creep upon me
and then I will see
what Fate has in store for me...

Happy to say that they all resolved. Since poetry is my emotional venting strategy, it's easy to just put it all out there. We all can relate to emotions after all.
