My demons are liars
Crafting up falsities
Whispering, screaming, shrieking
That I’m worthless without them

My demons are deceitful
Trying to tell me they speak truth
Twisting, warping, spinning
My head into a knotted mess

My demons are cruel
Making me hate myself
Crying, hurting, dying
But it’s all their fault

My demons are cowards
They remain faceless and silent
Masquerading, sneaking, pretending
To keep me distracted

Because that’s all they are
Deceptive, lying cowards
Too afraid to hurt alone
So they try to drag me down

But I know their enemy
So closely and intimately
I am protected and loved
More than they will ever be

So while I sit here in spiritual limbo,
While both voices echo in my mind
I will fight with all my strength
I will fight until my last breath.
