An Empty Journey
Demons
Surround
Beg
To let them
Become
All that I am
pull
At my feet
Drag me along
With their hate
My hurt
So I can no longer turn
And see my past
Just my future
My nothing
For they know
What I have known
For too long
That this path
Was never mine alone,
To be reached
By a single soul
This path I desired
This uncommon path
May always remain hidden
Without a fellow traveller
An uncommon traveller
And my choice
Is to go insane
Trying to find it
Or die inside
To let the demons
Devour my soul
For the glimmer
Of the uncommon path
May be just too small
To see
May always have been
just the tail
Of the demons
Trailing behind
I am lost
