Demons Poem by Victoria Horn

Please forgive my demons
They never seem to play fair,
Dragging me down further
Just when I gasp for air
Eyes twitching with anger,
Then tears of sorrow and regret
Right when I think I am stable
This smile makes me upset
I can't face these hidden foes
Try to put up a fight
My courage crumbles,
Again, my demons win tonight
The burning fury teases my core
I'm stuck inside an illusion,
Terrified of this mirrored box
Strong forces create the fusion
I rebel, I rebel
I am growing weak
Someday there will be a cure
For what today I cannot seek.
