My demon

We all have our demons

As I lay awake in my bed I reach for the ledge as the monster in my head tells me, you'll never make it, but still I stretch, bend and send my self forward, my finger tips kiss the ledge, the monster grabs my ankle sending me in a downward spiral unraveling the darkness before me I see the demon in which I hid away in a spray of hate and revulsion, I have a compulsion to pull away in a sickly way, as I look into a mirror the image is getting clearer, for I am my own demon, I have fashioned my own chains from the barbwire of my mind, how could I be so blind, for all of the signs were Intwined with my thoughts but still I bought the knotted rope that will take all hope, and now I will croak with my Demon at hand saying, I was just a man.

Love this
So very true we are our one worst enemy sometimes !! You capture this well.. How we trap ourselves .. Limit our own potential with negativity and self doubt!!
Brilliant lonewolf. :)

I like it. It's really amazing. It tells you that you could destroy yourself or that you could do mean things without knowing it
