Demons [December 7, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightHe stands, trapped in frozen time with an absent mind Lost within the infinite echoes of his own demise His life a script, written by demons of twisted fate A prisoner pinned beneath his own wretched hate Swirling, chaotic darkness swallows his entire being Wrapping him in a cloak of a forgotten meaning Stabbing with daggers coated in drowning misery Burning his dreams with an unrelenting agony The shackles rip the skin from his decaying flesh The blood drips from his wounds so tender and fresh His heart bursts from the pain of an endless suffering His soul being choked by his demons, suffocating With eyes painted with the blood of his silence He stands against his demons for hopeless penance An unbreakable wall of guilt stands undefeated before him An unstoppable army charges forward with power and sin His spine snaps like a leafless twig in a storm His pathetic body exposed in mangled form He collapses within his own mind, defeated and broken To the outside world he sheds a tear from merciless torture Alone and bitter, he walks with false serenity Disfigured, separated from a corrupt society Never looking back, for death eagerly waits For his demons to return the written fate
