when the night comes and I'm all alone the demons appear to torment me until once more I'm a clone I lay in bed while they're still inside my head wondering... what will tomorrow be like? will I want to eat? skip my nightly workouts will my eating disorder finally be beat? will I cry as many tears as I did tonight? or will I finally put myself first and decide to fight? will there be a day, this is in the past when will this be over how long is this going to last? I shouldn't raise my hopes I'm told, "That's just life". I guess I just haven't learned to cope when I was little the monsters were under the bed but as I got older they now live inside my head
I wrote this in a collab with my very best friend Jules. Please check out her poem titled "I'm alone with my demons". (part 2 of this poem) If you like my poem your sure to love hers. It was an honor to work with her.
