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
