Demons

Demons
To the demons that haunt me
Do you every take a break
Or is it a rotating door
Turning up the heat
Than shutting it off
To the Demons that haunt me
Why?
Why do you insist of torturing me
Memories, flashbacks, shame and guilt
To the demons that haunt me 
What can I do to get rid of you?
Is it to take my life
Like you insist
Does it really bring peace
How do I trust you?
Your torment me here
How do I know I won’t be tormenting in the after life
To the demons that haunt me
I can’t take much more
Please have mercy on me
I try to ignore you
Tell you to  odd
Ask God to “save” me
To the demons that haunt me 
Please let me sleep
Let me rest
Stop body slamming me
I am confused I hate to believe
To the demons that haunt me
Let me breathe
