A Snake slither’s from my mouth, through shaking fingers.
What bile will I spew next?
Panic builds in the corners of my soul
The Demon’s clash, sick with laughter
Drowning in self loathing thoughts
“I didn’t mean it like that”
Their eye’s bombard the blockade of my smile
Trapped inside myself, my own personal hell


The Demon’s whisper terrible thoughts in my ear
The tender caress of my loyal enemies
Cat calls of the broken hearted
Strong reminders of the worth, I don’t have
The Snake coils around my throat.
I don’t dare fight back
The Demon’s are stronger than us all


They hold hands as they dance around my mind
Laughing at everything I do
Everything I say
Everything I dare to think
Making sure I remember who I am
worthless. ugly. stupid.
Unloved


I still can hear their laughter
As the Snake crawls back down my throat
Nestling in the depths of my soul
A terrible reminder of the weight I bare
Endless nights, reliving endless days
Faded into a whisper
*“He won’t love you because of me”
