The Demon Inside Me
#2 of Poems
Everybody has their bad days. Today just happens to be mine.
Bitter are the unrelenting toils of life
This ache inside is like an unending strife
This darkness inside me is growing too deep
It sometimes awakens me from my sleep
The anger I feel, I too often can't control
Just sends me further, down this never-ending hole
I used to be happy; I hate what I've become
I resort to drinking and wait for the pain to numb
I sit alone, by myself and away from it all
By a creek, next to this trickling waterfall
I get comfort in the moment, but soon have to depart
Back to this reality that sets so heavy on my heart
