My demons

I have driven my demons, deep within
They are with me ever more
Chiding and disdaining and judging me
Till I let them out for awhile.

There is a song that says, ‘you don’t drink, you don’t smoke – what do you do?’ Just because you can not see my ‘sins’ does not mean I do not have any. Just because I appear to have self control, doesn’t mean I do. I have sinned greatly during my little life, against myself and against the world. I am doing my time.

My demons are hidden away
They can’t see me, I can’t see them
And this is the way I want it to be.
I can not face them and make them go away -
like I tell everyone else to do.

Besides, I need them there to remind me
Of how deeply I can fall, how desolate I can become.
So I keep them deep within
To be with me ever more.
