A Poem by Gypsy Willow
"

We all have our inner demons... How are some strong enough to fight them while others aren't?

"

A soft scent tickles my nose

As a vision of Perfection passes

Amanda.

A delicate beauty that haunts me.

She carries an air of confidence.

A mask of happiness.

But ancient eyes tell a different tale.

Am I the only one who sees?

For everyone smiles and laughs.

No one really looks.

I'm not sure of her secret.

But I want to know.

I need to tell her she isn't alone.

Nobody sees me either.

Not really.

Just like nobody sees her.

Not the inside.

I look into those eyes and I fear.

I feel the demons devouring her soul

Taunting her towards the edge

And I know that I am powerless.

How do you fight the demons of a stranger

When you are invisible

And have already been devoured by your own?
