Demons
February 7, 2019
I look in the mirror but I don’t see my face.
It’s something else talking my place.
A demon taking over me…
I hear stories about the monsters that hide under kid’s beds,
This one is a little closer.
Voices In my head.
I look around in fear,
But no one else is ever there.
But I know I’m not alone.
No matter how empty this room is…
And sometimes I can’t help but think,
I’m never going to be the me, that I used to be.
I’m never going to be strong.
I’m always wrong.
And I can’t get the confidence I need.
Too many monsters being mean.
Too many demons inside me…

this is really deep . id love if you could check out my work :)
We tend to criticize ourselves more than anyone else does. So this is just my thoughts on what is happening in those moments we are judging ourselves. I hope you can find some relation to it, even in the simplest way.
