my demon, it haunts me everyday, <br />never doing what best for me, <br />i please others before myself, <br />i let it become me, <br />my demon, <br />never lets me love myself, <br />always telling me what not to love, <br />its always there when i'm turned on, <br />reminding me of painful memories, <br />i don't wish to remember, <br />that's my demon, <br />paing don't go away, <br />it knocks at my front door waiting to be let in, <br />how can i? <br />it what holding me back from having a life, <br />from trusting people, <br />my deamon it don't play by the rules, <br />if it did, <br />it will know it is not welcome, <br />but my demon is what i have to face, <br />so i opened the door to let it in, <br />my demon is now apart of me, <br />it what makes me who i am.<br /><br />mona martinez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-past-is-my-demon/
