Demons

You see them all around you,

They follow you everywhere you go.
The Demons inside
Claim they want your soul.

You look to God

But they tell you He’s not there.

All you want is happiness,

The Demons show you life’s not fair.

You try to ignore them

So they back off a bit.

They lurk in the shadows,

Striking hard when you least expect it.

You cry for help,

Thousands of people around but no one hears your call.

The Demons have you,
You no longer stand proud or tall.

The Demons taunt you,

They keep calling your name.
In your head they are laughing,
Knowing they are driving you insane.

You can’t stand your life anymore,

You feel you have to perform this great sin.
Death is your only chance for peace
So your life you take, you end.

I hope you find what you were looking for

But there is one thing about me where you were wrong.
I dearly loved you my friend,
And I wish you peace, safe, now that your Demons are gone.
