have you ever seen a demon?
their eyes fill with hatred
but they act like saints around other people who don't know them
and i pretend not to see the demon
that has tortured me since i was seven
because they say it's against the bible not to love him
this very dark
thing
that hurts my sister and not me
if she would just keep her mouth shut
we would all be happy
and as it looks into my eyes
and decides to spear me
i wait for him to look away
take a deep breathe
and remind myself
"that's not a demon
that's daddy"
