The ending ought to be the beginning
He creeps blindly
In a world of monsters
That scream his name unkindly
And he’s afraid
‘cause the million screams
That he’s heard
Are not only in his dreams
All the colours fade away
When the sun rises
For a new miserable day
Nobody hears his thought
‘cause if they knew
There wouldn’t only be a few
That’d like to cast him out
Out of this universe
That fills him with doubt
He swims in despair
Losing control, feeling numb
He’s gasping for air
as he sinks into the depths
He thinks life’s not fair
The doctors prescribe him pills
That he should take against his will
Just so they add up to his bills
but the void they can not fill
Some say he’s become a junkie
But the only pills he’s addicted to
That make him feelin' funky
Are the ones no one sees
Anxiety is a drug
That makes his soul and body freeze
and sometimes it feels like a disease
There are more problems than reasons to smile
That invite demons in and let them stay a while
Caged creatures that struggle to find
An exit in the deepest corners of his mind
What happens when even demons fear
that they can’t leave when they want?
And they begin to shed a tear
as they scream for help
Requests to set them free
A plan that assures their liberty
They begin with the killing spree
But it doesn’t work
So they make friends
With the host
Because it’s common sense
They grow tired, they stop to cry
And the only solution it seems
Is one last present: a special tie
I really enjoyed this. A lot
I really enjoyed this. A lot of imagery and loved how all of the internal battle(s) is personified with the demons.
I think this is pretty tight.
I think this is pretty tight. There is a lot of feeling in this. Kinda dark but that's okay. It totally worked. Plus no one ever considers that the demons don't even want to be trapped in a persons head.
