Demons I Fight

There are demons I fight
That live inside of my head 
No one knows that they exist 
I choose to hide them instead 

They torment my heart 
And they torment my mind
There is no sense of peace 
That I’m able to quite find

I wish they would go away 
And finally leave me all alone 
They have killed all my happiness 
While my depression has grown 

All the pain I have stored 
Would make most men die
But I push through it all 
And when no one is looking I cry

Hiding the river of tears that flow
One down each side of my face 
I wish I had another emotion to feel 
And this misery I could replace 

Until that day comes around 
I’ll be stuck in this living hell
Forever filled with this depression 
Unable to ever feel like I’m well
