A cry for help, a shriek of anger When nobody's around I feel lost, I start overthinking again. It's just the demons inside of me Driving me insane, choking me within. They make me ponder, they hallucinate me, "Life is a meaningless journey! Unload the burden, set yourself free." The demon chants day and night The voices echoes in my brain. Life is a river, It flows swift and steady Out of nowhere the turbulence kicks in, The distorted vision find its way Like a "Dumb and Stupid" I cry within, I want to fight, let there be a spark. The foolishness sets the optimism in me. Hiding the pain with an amiable smile Circumstances remains the same for me. I count my days, waiting for time to change Hoping for a speedy recovery. The Demons Within
