Demons

Carcinogens make me feel stronger The burn of liquor makes me feel cool There are demons in my head trying to make me break the rules I know that knives are bad I know this all sounds cruel But they tell me it's okay for blood to drip into a pool The shrink told me the pills would make the voices go away But what I found, and much to his dismay The demons made me through the pills away I know that people love me Even if they don't say But I can't help but wonder if I should take me life away There are demons still inside me Wanting me to break But they don't know I still have a smile to fake Until I find one real Real enough to keep These horrors I throw down, down below my feet All the way to Hell Back to where they came The devil hasn't won this one My King; he still reigns

Very emotional deep write. The last two lines are my favorite. Good day.
