The Worst

Of all the terrible demons I hide The worst are those that assist in demise The root of my pain, and crippling pride Through fear and addiction I hold inside Of all the memories I dare not speak The worst are those that won't let me sleep The root of anxiety that's crippling me Through the agonizing thoughts that keep me weak Of all the ways I wish I could change The worst are those that remain the same The ones that are stapled onto my name Through painful repetition, they drive me insane Through all the cold hard lessons I learn The lack of love is the deepest concern The fact that I have so much to return Through this emptiness, I continue to burn.
