My Own Personal Demon Poem by Keegan Cooke

A scratch in the dark is where it starts
A bump inside me, a twisted work of art
The darkness that follows me, my own personal demon

It's always behind me and it's always watching me
The evil that attacks me in my darkest dreams
That leaves me unsure of what my thoughts mean

The darkness that follows me, my own personal demon
It is the weight on my shoulders that reminds me every day
Of what has happened, and I know it's here to stay

Fighting back is useless, because it's not human
The darkness that follows me, my own personal demon
It blurrs the difference between right and wrong

Brings me the pain and passion of my song
It leaves me nauseus, with a sick feeling
The darkness that follows me, my own personal demon

It is every where I am, the floor, or the ceiling
Crawling everywhere, it's stench is unmistakable
Because it's always with me, stuck on me like cement

The darkness that follows me, my own personal demon
