Demon Inside

 She has the hatred, 
of an over looming, 
Self-consuming, 
grudge... 
The envy of- 
A Petty, 
insecure girl... 

she has 
The deceit 
of a betrayed 
unforgiving 
lover 
And she is someone 
I wish 
I never 
had to discover 

She has the greed 
of a spoiled 
Ungrateful 
child 
and the ability to kill any 
last resort of a smile 

She is the demon inside 
that I constantly hide- 
the backboneless coward 
the dishonest thief, 
The cold of the 
winter 
that killed autumns 
last leaf 


she is vengeful , 
and spitelful, 
scornful and rude- 
her traits and persona, 
I wish never had to exude... 


And to all of her evils, 
I try so hard not to listen, 
but she makes it so hard, 
To let my good glisten. 

And I wonder and wonder 
And I wish 
I knew 
How to tell 
If I will ever be able 
to escape her harsh spell 

and 
I fear and I question 
Over and over 
if- 
Overcoming this struggle 
May be truly impossible, 
and just as i feared, 
she may be unstoppable... 

Will I ever be able 
to tame this beast 
Her malice 
and evil 
will i ever defeat? 
and will I ever be able 
to finally sieze- 
my splendor and righteousness 
on which she continues to feast...
