Hidden Demons

The approval I seek 
The respect is all there
The approval I crave
My hatred is fair
A storm is brewing
But when and where?
My emotions are bottled
For I don't easily scare
A shell I have formed
To break one shall not dare
The demons are tamed 
But I would never share
What triggers my demons 
to come out of their lair
What triggers my demons'
nostrils to flare
