Demons are the Tricksters Inside

If we aren't careful
the mind fools the heart
Twisting what's dear
And tears it apart

Demons play tricks
Hurtful thoughts fill the head
Your heart who means well
Speaks softly listen to what's said

Insignificant doings
Little things done wrong
They really mean nothing
Is tricksters favorite played song

Demons constant knocking
The hurt and fear you feel
Is the tricks your mind plays
Most upsetting but not real

Constantly reminding
Betrayal and lies it will say
Will distort the reality
Whispering heart is its prey

Whatever thoughts are put out there
Sets your life in motion
Repeat the hushed heartbeats
Make love your life's magic potion

If something feels wrong
Chances are that its true
Is a bullshit little saying
Don't believe it! I warn you

That's the demons misgivings
They do nothing but lie
Trick the mind smash the heart
Body and soul left empty dry

One of the themes I love and use, "Demons". Great work on this piece with good flow and content. It sounds that you battle your demons on a line similar to mine. I have written a number of Demon works.

You might like a fun piece http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/wwells13/1533378/ that I did. It comes from a different approach as yours but still fighting the demons.

Very well done and thanks for sharing.
