Inner and Outer Demons

My inner demons all but do is follow me

Follow me around for something to pry on

They don't ever leave me alone

I need to be let go

They hold me back and eat my insides

Dragging me down, pushing me around

My inner demons have been defeated by the ones on the outside

Those ones linger try to possess my body 

I won't let them 

Take over me

Myself

Make me a different person

These inner and outer demons team up on me

I don't know who I am 

Or what I am 

What to do with my life for my demons set me free

Make me wild

Make me do things

I have never thought of myself doing

They make me dead

Sad

Nauseated with the fear they fill me with

I go home and sit alone at night

Being tortured 

Like mangling bodies that lay dead

All alone

Being eaten away

As I am

By my inner and outer demons

Not the best, might work on later

I don't understand the "not the best". I wish I had at least ONE person to watch my horror movies with. I have a collection of some 980 of them and not one friend to watch them with!! lol I'm reading this with the song "Ruby Tuesday" playing, and I think you are awesome!! I Love You in this poem because you are reading off this grocery list of emotions that are consuming and heartfelt to you!! You need a podium to pound your fist upon while screaming some of these lines, and I wish I could hear it, too. I'd be inspired, in awe, and I would feel like I want to f'n vote for you by poem's end. lol I Love it. If you are looking for poem critique that tears apart your poem in some way, I would have to return with a different mindset because your poems are written in a language that very very few girls have had the "balls" to say in my own life out loud to ANYONE!! Your shortest lines in this poem had the biggest effect on me and you have not disappointed me at all. Beautiful, Gabby...... xoxox -Mark

Everybody has their demons indeed.
It could do with a little work, but I like it.
