Demons that lurk around each corner come out the more you laugh it off.
You’re drowning, gasping for air as they drag you down.
Unable to scream for help you suffer in silence.
Smiling each day as you awake so no one will ever know the pain you endure.
Each time you’re alone the demons poke their devil’s claws into your heart like knives.
Again, gasping for air, you get drugged down like a rag doll in the mud.
The sun continues to shine as your heart grows darker and weaker.
Sitting in silence wearing the mask of your enemies to try and show your bravery, you break a little more inside.
Each moment your heart continues to beat, its turning into a pile of dust.
Yet again, more and more you sit still and smile, as the demons fight over what’s left and play tricks on the mind like it’s Halloween.
Wrist so bare until the battle begins. It’s over, unable to fight back you give in.
Giving into the darkness that surrounds your black poisons heart you let go.
Falling into the silence that haunts you, forever holding onto the devil’s little helpers.
You relinquish all power and energy that you have left, you’ve given in, forever letting go.
Influences
I almost sense there is need for survival rather than forfeit. Giving up requires no fight, no struggle. You smiled, not to hide. You smile to survive. You relinquished everything that consumed you, because you are a survivor. I am moved by your influential piece. You have a gift.
