I have this little demon <br />That lives inside my head <br />I’ve never ever seen him <br />But I’m sure that he is red. <br /> <br />Those times when I feel happy <br />He’ll stoke a fire for me <br />So my good mood is soon replaced by <br />Full-on anxiety. <br /> <br />When I’m asleep he’s busy talking <br />When I wake he’s in my ear <br />I simply can’t escape him <br />And his chatter's all too clear. <br /> <br />I hate this little demon <br />And it's now me who's feeling red <br />So I’m taking all these little pills <br />To ensure that he's soon dead.<br /><br />David Keig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-devil/
