My demons are like wolves
They run in a pack
Snarling and growling
Ready to attack
And the hairs on their back
Stand up like blades of grass
Foaming at the mouth
Snapping their teeth  
And biting at my feet
No matter how far apart my strides
I can’t outrun them
Anymore then I can outrun the sun
That streaks across the morning sky

I’ve lasted this long
But the hunt is still on
Cries for help
Get lost in the night
Blood leaks from rotted bites
Wounded from past fights
The woods stained red
All over the branches, leaves and trees
Even on the twigs that snap underneath my feet
And ever so often
If you’re close enough
You can hear echos of my shrieks
Whispering through the air
Because now one has ahold of me
It’s teeth rips and tear at my flesh
I can tell as I scratch at its eyes
It’s goal is my demise
Canines all the way to the bone
And as I look back
Here comes the pack
I must free myself
Of what has a hold of me
Because if I don’t..
