My Demons
I try to forget.
 I try to forget about you, I try to forget about how you broke my heart.
 I used to lie to myself, saying that I could float on, that all was well,
 But I carry that sadness on my back every day,
 And as time goes on, my burden becomes heavier and heavier.
 I am a strong person.
 I carried that load for a long time. 
 But I cannot carry it anymore,
 For you have snapped my bones and broken my back,
 And I now lay, numb, the rain pouring on my pale face.
 But all is not lost,
 For I like to keep my heart strong.
 So I pull myself up off that wicked ground beneath me,
 Steady my mind,
 And walk towards the growing sunrise.
 Every step is pain,
 But as I keep on, slowly, that burden becomes lighter.
 Step by step.
 And by the time I have reached the top of the mountain,
 The sunrise is golden, 
 My demons are gone,
 And all is well.
