The Demons Haven'T Won

Battling demons in the dark Behind the light of a smile Hoping to find a precious spark To make the fight worthwhile Evading the relentless attack Coming in wave after wave Trying hard not to crack Your existence is there to save Life outside is a blur There is nothing clear to see Desperately seeking the spur To find the energy to flee Loved ones don't know of the struggle Or of the warfare in your head Of the pressure of trying to juggle Between happiness and dread Although the conflict carries on The demons haven't won Your passion hasn't gone Exhausted, but you are not done
