These demons have outstayed their welcome They have made residence in my atoms I feel them dance among my molecules And sleep in my cells They move around my tissues And are anchored steadfastly to my organs A corrupt system have they formed And I assisted them at every turn Protected them, hid them, and fed them. And now, after they have learned my secret places And know me from the inside out Their claws are in deep And they will never leave But that is fine by me, Without them, What would I be composed of?

A system of demons
These demons have outstayed their welcome They have made residence in my atoms I feel them dance among my molecules And sleep in my cells They move around my tissues And are anchored steadfastly to my organs A corrupt system have they formed And I assisted them at every turn Protected them, hid them, and fed them. And now, after they have learned my secret places And know me from the inside out Their claws are in deep And they will never leave But that is fine by me, Without them, What would I be composed of?
I am at peace with them. I don't remember how to truly live
Chevalier
