Plagued by Demons

A poem I wrote out of depression

They say that the eyes are the gate way to the soul…

 

Well my soul is plagued with demons

One would develop each school year and find its home in my soul.

 

They would grow…grow by feeding off my fear, pain and torment

They would just keep getting bigger and bigger…feeding…

Just like demonic parasites…

 

By the time I was in my last year

I was just a hollow shell

Wearing a “Mask of Happiness”

 

A “Mask of Happiness” to deceive

To deceive and convince everyone I was a happy free-spirited girl.

 

But deep inside, that’s a different story…

Inside was a depressed dark girl haunted by demons

 

But now I have graduated,

I freed myself of some demons

But there are some that I will never get rid of.

 

These are the ones that that imbedded themselves deep within…

Deep within the chambers of my soul.

Author's Note

Incredibly descriptive. Reads like a story.

haunting and beautiful. a slight sense of hope with the releasing of some demons, but there will always be a harboring of some "deep within the chambers of my soul." i can relate to that deeply, as well as the "mask of happiness." excellent!
