My demons are my shadows
Keeping their distance but always by my side
Growing
They follow me even in the brightest of days and darkest of nights
They creep close enough to see silently waiting to corrupt my mind
With coal covered clouds
They yearn for my downfall
Welcoming me to sit with them in the corner as they grow around my spine
Whispering how proud they are in my defeat
Snickering at my relapse
Rocking me back and forth reminding me how many times I have failed again and again
There’s nothing I can do to escape their clutches you see these demons are a part of me inside of me and always on my footsteps
