The Demons Within

Deep within my soul,

There are demons lurking there.

Whispering in my ear,

Telling me my fears.

They dance into my dreams,

Haunting every thought.

Their shadows dark and deep,

With secrets left uncaught.

Their voices never cease,

Tainting all that's pure.

They scratch and claw and tear,

Leaving pain that's hard to cure.

I try to pray them away,

To banish them with love.

But they refuse to leave,

The demons from above.

They feed on my despair,

The seeds of doubt and hate.

They seek to break my spirit,

And control my every fate.

But still I fight and strive,

A will that will not break.

Hoping that one day,

The demons will be brought to wake.

Until then, I'll stand my ground,

And face them with my light.

For the demons will not win,

Against a heart that's honest and right.
