A Demon's Confines

It is clawing inside of me

Clawing at its binds within my mind

Searching for a way out

Each day it continues relentlessly

Sometimes so weakly that I hardly notice its presence

And sometimes so ferociously that it comes close to breaking loose

To say that I am solely afraid of what it is, is untrue

But to say I fear what it can do is the truth

To fully embrace the dark side would be the end

Not only for me but for humanity as well

So each day I struggle to keep the bars of the cage strong

Sacrificing my emotions to keep it in check

Only two of them have seen the demon that lives in me

They fought it and defeated it when it escaped, but they do not understand

Just because it was defeated once doesn't mean it won't strike again

The demon in me just doesn't die or admit defeat

In a way I am glad that they don't know the full truth

I am already ostracized enough without having another thing to make me more different

But my secrets are slowly being unraveled

And with each secret found out the demon within me grows stronger

Eventually it will be released with its full power

And bring about a hell that even your worst nightmares couldn't compare to

Yet for now I will continue to fight

Until the darkness inside of me swallows everything whole
