There's a demon in my mind
We have the same face.
She likes to whisper things in my mind-
I am dumb, I am unloved,
I am not enough.
She slips in unnoticed
When the world knocks me down,
Even though I always try to lock the back door.
There's a demon in my mind.
She's strong, and she is cruel.
I don't know how to stop her.

There's an angel in my mind
She, too, looks like me.
Somedays I have a hard time finding her,
But she is never too far away.
Everyday she goes to battle with my demons.
She doesn't always win
But she still goes back to fight the fight that left her tired the night before.
There's an angel in my mind.
She's strong, and she is brave
There is no stopping her.
