Demons in my Eyes

By: Danielle McGeachie

I see demons,

I tell my therapist.

They are teachers and adults,

Friends and foes,

Family and pets.

They stalk me like their prey,

And holds a knife at my throat.

I wish to become the hunter,

But I hate killing.

For every time,

That knife I say,

Pokes me in the heart.

I try to dodge,

But I bleed and bleed.

A river flows from my heart,

All because of these pesky,

Evil,

Mischievous,

Demons.

In my view,

Never disappearing.
