Demon mind

I’ve grown up, I’ve learned their laws

I’ve learned how to behave

I was a fraud then it became me

Nobody’s ever understood

It’s like they’re different

Not my species, not my kind

I’d give my life to please them

Yet I don’t understand their mind.

Please don’t make me do this,

I swear I’ll be fine this time

I’ll listen and I’ll joke around

You might laugh, or you might cry

Hand me my mask of angels

And I’ll pretend that I can fly

I am strange, but I’m not cold

I just don’t understand your rules

I have a mind that won’t shut up

I’ve never understood

It’s like it’s hellishly broken

Never silent, never resting

I’ve given my soul to please them

Yet these demons haunt my mind.

Please don’t make me do this,

I swear I’ll be fine this time

I’ll listen and I’ll joke around

You might laugh, or you might cry

Hand me my mask of angels

And I’ll pretend that I can fly

I closed my eyes, I took the punch

I calculated emotions for the show

I do feel, just cannot compute

My smile's misunderstood

It’s like I’m different

Nothing’s easy, nothing’s hard

I’ve lost another time

Yet only race in my own mind.

Please don’t make me do this,

I swear I’ll be fine this time

I’ll listen and I’ll joke around

You might laugh, or you might cry

Hand me my mask of angels

And I’ll pretend that I can fly

They’ve talked to me, they listened good

They’ve tried to read my book.

Though very few seem to understand

They all seem to care

Tell me all your little secrets

Tell me so I can understand

The soul that is you

Though, be careful, I will hurt you too

Please don’t make me do this,

I swear I’ll be fine this time

I’ll listen and I’ll joke around

You might laugh, or you might cry

Hand me my mask of angels

Or I’ll fall and you will cry

I’m so scared, I’m at peace

I’m trying to fulfil my needs

I want to please, so I’m at ease

The only thing I understood

It’s like an escape to me

Always listening, always trying

I’ll make you feel my love

Yet I’m afraid to cross the line

I love this! I grew up catholic and have been going to a catholic school since I was little. You learn all about how the sins attack the mind and that if you ever fall into them you are horrible. Although I dont believe in that now the fact of now I know how my devil brain work and I've fallen in, being great is a fake as long as you love well all is safe.

This is amazing. I felt this more than I thought I would.
