My Inner Demon

There is a little demon Which lives inside my head And when he feels like emerging I do whatever he says There are no scheduled patterns No assessment, tasks or deeds And when he shows his true colors; Nothing can fulfill his needs His needs are very complex Entailing endless bouts of pain And when you think “it’s over” Still, you never feel completely sane He’ll run you through the ringer He’ll rake you through the coals He’ll take away all dignity Leaving you defenseless, baring no soul He hurts your loved ones most of all Causing much suffering and pain But once again, what else is new, Living with a person who’s utterly insane
