I wouldn't say my demons are my friends. I don't invite them to parties or look for them in the mirror. But tormenting has become natural, second nature, me. And after a long day in the sun, I always return to their ragged claws and ***** paws. They scratch at my skin until I bleed and cannot sleep. Scars cover my body but what...what would I be without them? How could I dare spend a night without dragging nails across my throat? They are not my friends. But I listen anyways for the tapings behind the wall. But I don't nurse my wounds. But I don't fight the when they reach out. But I like the color of my blood. My demons aren't my friends, but neither am I.

My Demons Aren't My Friends
I wouldn't say my demons are my friends. I don't invite them to parties or look for them in the mirror. But tormenting has become natural, second nature, me. And after a long day in the sun, I always return to their ragged claws and ***** paws. They scratch at my skin until I bleed and cannot sleep. Scars cover my body but what...what would I be without them? How could I dare spend a night without dragging nails across my throat? They are not my friends. But I listen anyways for the tapings behind the wall. But I don't nurse my wounds. But I don't fight the when they reach out. But I like the color of my blood. My demons aren't my friends, but neither am I.
