Fleeing fearlessly through my faults <br /> <br />Intense insecurities evade my thoughts <br /> <br />The mirror bears the reflection <br /> <br />Of flesh I wish too not see <br /> <br />The person residing in my skin <br /> <br />Is not who I want to be <br /> <br />Avoid opening my eyes <br /> <br />Relentlessly trying to hide <br /> <br />The demons spewing up from inside <br /> <br />The old me is gone <br /> <br />She has died <br /> <br />A heart that once burned <br /> <br />Has now turned cold <br /> <br />Emotionless <br /> <br />Like a stone <br /> <br />Betrayed by day <br /> <br />Lost at night <br /> <br />A lonely life to live <br /> <br />Is a life lived in spite <br /> <br />Someone you loved <br /> <br />Whom you thought you knew <br /> <br />Didn't hesitate <br /> <br />At the chance of hurting you <br /> <br />Shattered and broken <br /> <br />Old wounds, reopened <br /> <br />Defenseless against depression <br /> <br />Mental regression <br /> <br />Overwhelming aggression <br /> <br />Feel the burn <br /> <br />Feed the fire <br /> <br />Sink into the bliss <br /> <br /> Of your sick desire <br /> <br />A slash or gash <br /> <br />The pain won't last <br /> <br />And when all this has passed <br /> <br />Free you will be at last <br /> <br />So she slits her wrist <br /> <br />Smiles, and enjoys it <br /> <br />As the blood pours out <br /> <br />She listens to the sound <br /> <br />Of her blood <br /> <br />Quenching the thirsty ground <br /> <br />They found her body <br /> <br />With a note <br /> <br />Inside were the words she wrote <br /> <br />I'm at peace, don't you see? <br /> <br />For the longest time I hated me <br /> <br />Chemically I altered my chemistry <br /> <br />I am my own worst enemy. <br /> <br />Fighting a war in my head <br /> <br />With monsters that were once under my bed <br /> <br />I kept trying to fight <br /> <br />But now I give in <br /> <br />This is the story <br /> <br />Of letting your demons win.<br /><br />Laura Raimondo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/demons-win/
