Demon Poem by Piper Brown

There is a demon in the center of my chest
scratching it's way out, flying its nest
the darkness engulfs my heart and soul
tearing through the walls, breaking a hole
my heart aches, breaking with time
faking smiles, singing- 'i'm totally fine! '
laughing so no one notices my tears
smiling to cover the scars and the fears
blooding dripping from the cuts i made
my broken heart is the steep price i paid
watching more and more people steal from me
wondering who they will accept me to be
my eyes begin to darken, my heart is black
dying from the love the world seems to lack
i cry for help for someone to save
watching helplessly as the walls begin to cave
be beware the demon inside of my soul
it may escape through the cracks, the hole
it fights and struggles until its escape is done
but when the darkness comes, please don't run
