Demons.

What do you do when you're raging a war in yourself? When you're constantly drowning in a pool of your own emotions, your own demons?

Sorrow, misery, grief and pain.
Haunting her every night.
Every time she closed her eyes,
There was nowhere where she could find light.
Her mother had said not to be afraid of shadows.
Because that means there's light nearby.
Her life seems to have only shadows.
Light and her happiness have been forced to die.
She tries to put on a smile on her face,
But no one is that strong.
She cries herself to sleep every night.
Wondering where she went wrong.
Her sorrow and pain had numbed her,
No matter how hard she had tried, confronting
Emotions was like walking through chest high water.
Her pain was beyond that when she could have cried.
She wondered how long she had to go on this way.
She wondered when she would be gifted peace.
Nothing seemed to matter anymore,
She just prayed for her release.
Emotions were merciless, they preyed on her.
Her demonds surrounded her from all sides.
She wondered if she could drown her demons,
But then remembered they could swim and survive.
She tried, she prayed, she ran so fast,
And yet, they caught up to her.
Dropped her on the stone cold, hard surface.
And slowly, mercilessly, devoured her.
