he was a boy of 17,
sad,
alone,
but alive.

and he had problems,
issues,
scars,
and monsters in his head.

and these monsters tried consuming him,
devouring him,
and taking him,
taking him to the other side.

but no matter how many,
cuts,
scars,
tears...

he was a boy of 17,
sad,
alone,
but alive.

Some people are afraid of murderers
Lurking in the dead of the night
Waiting to attack
But I'm not afraid of evil
Because the devil is already inside of me
Killing me slowly from within
