They can separate themselves from their demons I can’t The demons I carry around have been my best friends for so long, I can’t tell the difference from them, And me They know when a thought is being placed there from something non-human I don’t They talk so much it pours out my mouth The demons say they love me, So Me, being desperate for love Accept them Then I follow their rules - eat little- sleep none- cry always- tears never And so many more I’m no longer self-regulated because I'm no longer myself They swallowed me Since I can’t tell the difference between us, I willingly gave myself up Traded myself For a monster That only brings others down, or drags me down, to lift others higher They have become me They are me There Isn't a distinction anymore There isn’t a red font to tell me what ideas to avoid Because I don’t avoid any ideas at all Nothing is off-limits, they tell me if I see a thought, Take it No matter who it hurts, especially if it hurts me, if you think it, you can do it! They tell me You only live once So they make it hell, but only to prepare me for what’s to come, They’ve convinced me they only have my best interest in mind, I let them make walls To protect me
