I don't light up to open my mind,
But to temporarily silence the demons.
And right now
The monsters are climbing into
My eyes
Ears
Mouth
Heart
And ripping apart
Every solid piece of myself
I used to care about.
They’re laughing,
Dripping venom,
Burning me over and
Over and
OVER again.
Making me scream so silently
That no one else knows.
No one else can hear
The fleshy sound of
Wet skin
Being torn
From the outside, in.
They don’t see
My hands bound
To my own demented thoughts
Making me do things
I’d once refused.
I see in flames now
I see the world burning
I see rubble,
Wreckage and
Ruins.
I see remnants of a
Person I used to love, used to know.
So lift me up higher than I’ve ever been before
To suppress the inner creatures
Controlling
A newfound stranger.
Monsters, demons and creatures OH MY
