I have to face my demon-
I have to face the past-
this demon that is forever stalking-
dreams of long nights past-

I have to face my demon-
I live longer in the past-
the demon forever harassing-
good feelings happiness;

heartbeat slowly beating tempo-
my temper has left me alone--
but not lonely
for it has left me with something-
a way to grasp on to hope-

I have to face my demon-
never afraid but still afraid of what it could cause-
the sound of a scrunched up can hitting the trash-
in my dreams the sound isn't that loud;

no fear I have to face this demon-
chasing it from my mind-
chasing it from the neural pathways-
blinded by my eyes......
