Demons

It’s me, who fights the demons when they come,
I hold them off, but they’ll come back,
I try to balance you and save you from yourself,
I guess that it’s stability that you lack,

Your eyes are dark, but your face is pale,
The colour of the first winter snow,
You’re trembling; I say there’s nothing to fear,
I’m acting brave, but it’s a show,

The darkness in your mind poisons you,
But your heart is overflowing with light,
Blood trickles down your wrists and thighs,
The Demons are back, but you’re too weak to fight,

Razor blades- sharp and small,
They cut deep and the blood will fall,
It’s not your fault-it’s just society,
Razor blades-so small and mighty,

When the angels came, they took the blades,
But they can’t take all the fire,
The heat is burns your pale skin,
It’s everything the demons desire,

Demons breathe nothing but bitterness,
They’re just beasts filled with evil and hate,
They seem more powerful than the angels,
So more and more wounds they create,

I've been trying to talk to you,
But none of my words seem quite right,
You’re not eating- you starve yourself,
Your Demons tell you not to take a bite,

Razor blades- sharp and small,
They cut deep and the blood will fall,
It’s not your fault-it’s just society,
Razor blades-so small and mighty,

The demons cloud your mind with the bad,
They tell you, you’re not perfect but you are,
The angels try to bring sunshine to your life,
They don’t understand the power of your scar,

Blood, blades, fire, starvation and bruises,
Words that the demons love to hear,
But the demons won’t come here again,
There’s nothing left that you fear,

8 months of sweat, toil and tears,
There’s no blood here anymore,
The Angels defeated all your demons,
And you’re happier than ever before,

Razor blades- sharp and small,
You have no power here at all,
It was never your fault, it’s just society,
You've beaten your demons- beaten your anxiety,
You've risen from the flames- now you are mighty,
