Demon Within Poem by Lilith Rose Reitenbach

Look past the face and body
It’s where you will find
The pair of bloodshot eyes
Of the Demon kept inside.
You witness the crawling of my skin;
The movements of the demon within.
My whole body violently shakes
Now it is fully awake,
Demanding and overdue breath to take.
Madness overcomes me as it takes over my brain
It’s blood is rushing through my veins
It’s wild nature cannot be contained.
(Funny I’m wishing still for more)
An intense pressure is in my throat;
The need to scream is becoming too great.
My muscles tighten along with my skin
The demon is almost free from within.
It’s as if the demon steps right out.
It sucks in the air
And expands itself wide
Then unleashes all the emotion bottled up inside.
Finally it has let itself go
So it goes on back “home”
No longer free to roam
Until…
Everything becomes to great
Then it will come out of it’s cage
And release again all of its rage
Back to a clean slate;
The beginning of a new page.
