The Demon In My Head

What does it matter to you?

My screams mean nothing to you.

Clawing, scratching, scrambling

for something, anything to cling to.

****** fingers and blind eyes;

no one else can hear these cries.

My mind: shattered, broken, defeated,

smeared on the floor for all to see.

The only voice I hear in the dark -

my Demon with his painful remarks.

Words ring off the walls; he speaks

velvet Lies into my ears for weeks.

Humanely malicious;

he tears my mind asunder.

Lusciously venomous;

he drags my broken body under.

There is no cure, no escape;

he is my twisted fate.

When I am vulnerable, he crawls to my side.

There is no one to tell me otherwise.

So what does it matter to you?

My screams never meant anything to you.
