Dark Demons

Dark demons sent to taunt me
within my mind, they often play
In my ear, they quietly whisper
On my woes, they love to pray.

Pitiful pleas for mercy
Are sadly made in vain 
to their whispers I’m addicted 
From feeling joy, I now abstain.

Guided to where I’m destined 
exhausted, mentally drained 
despondent I willingly follow 
as whispered words are feigned.

Oblivious I’m lead from reality 
convinced there’d be no pain
taken further into darkness 
Where my tortured soul lies slain!
