17 - THE INNER DEMONS THAT I HIDE

I am scared of the inner demons that I hide.

They crawl inside me,

eager to come out,

but I always trap them

and find a way to keep them inside.

It's dark inside where they live,

but the demons like the dark.

They scream and scratch my heart,

but I still keep them.

I can't let them go,

and I can't escape them.

They follow me everywhere:

they are my inner demons.
