A thousand thoughts
A thousand tendencies

I used to be the girl that cared for anyone
Anyone with a suicidal thought
Did my best to save them, give them hope.

But now that girl, is me.
And who’s there? My voice bringing back empty echo’s
Echo’s boynching off the walls in my mind.
All alone, I stand to watch things fall apart.
Not a hand to hold, not a shoulder to lean on

Trapped in a place with no escape
Voices telling me to starve, to end it all
Whispers saying,
"Game Over"

But don’t worry
Sleep sound tonight
Knowing I’m not alive because of you
... Don’t worry

The demons inside are terrible
They tell you how to feel and what to say
All they seem to do is make life unbearable
They come out when you least expect it just to play

They poke fun and make you cry
The bad thoughts sometimes come and stay
You get pushed to the edge ready to leave the world with no goodbye
Wile the demons inside laugh and don't go away

Your ears ring with their laughs
While your screams comfort them inside
They whispered the bad things in what seemed like paragraphs
Until you fell apart in your mind

There are no rules for them
They lie and break and bruise
They cause mayhem
The demons fight and play until you lose

— The End —
