Demon Within

*Demon 
The greatest agony to my soul
Were done by my own hands 
Regrets I leave with day and night 
Praying to he that keeps date and times 
May he roll back his arms 
So I undo what had been done 

They hunt my poor soul 
Invading my dreams and reality 
Leaving me with fear and pain 
Hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel
To end this nightmare of mine 

I seek for the demon hurting me 
For I know not my foe 
I was mine own demon 
I fight a demon within 
A battle I wish but never win
For I fight a demon within
