Inner Demons
Inner demons tear me apart
Night and day
Today, tomorrow and in the days to come perhaps.
Relentless torment of the soul
Obliterating rational thought
Seeking to show the meanderings and
Peccadilloes of fickle fate
Ennervating desire and drive
Cleverly rationalized by reason
Towards a life of constant strife
Inching steadily to depression
Ornate with self-pity and regret
Notwithstanding the little altruistic acts.
