'My Demons'
Giulia King,
To be chained, to be addicted to something is like a demon I believe. It definitly does not make someones life better. The reference to a cigarette is one many identify. In my youth cigarette smoking was done quite a lot and now it is seen to be a health hazard. Good writing with a good message.

I like the darkness here. Love seeing something different. Something some people fear. The part that grabbed at me was "I realize, not every story has a happy ending."
Everyone has their own demon that we our self created.
Really like this. It's a topic that I struggle with A LOT since my past is rather dark, and I often feel like a shadow is permanently cast across my future because of it. It's enough to make one nihilistic or fatalistic, but from time to time, inspiration and beauty break through the clouds.
"I keep screaming into my pillow,
hoping that I'll disappear into thin air"
Words are like knives on my skin, slowly cutting me up.
Love those lines. Very poignant. The intensity cracks.

when i read your second line'im forever married to the darkness' i knew in this poem, you will express how i feel in a certain way. And that's exactly what you did. well done dear.
Perhaps we create our own demons because in some pathetic way, we need them. We accept the outrage and results of.. but carry on because.. we don't care, we're comfortable, we make our own choices, answering to no.one. Your writing lures the reader into stepping outside and thinking more.
Yours is a gripping poem, no excuse, no guilt, but.. compulsive.. Great visual by the way.
