Facing My Demons

I'm torn in half cut deep inside

by these demons I try to hide

painted face bricked up walls

hold myself strong and tall

a shattered soul and misplaced heart

alone and scared within the dark

wonder through this divide

I can not run I can not hide

a word of caution for you to hear

with demons lurking show no fear

Innocence stolen from within

will I ever be whole again

my scars have faded tears have dried

an emptiness forms deep inside

a hollow shell without a soul

my mind's not right I can not grow

I force a smile and hide my eyes

demons lurking just inside

a battle within they sometimes win I often loose

do I stand and fight for right or do I choose to leave the light...

I turn and face the night

No longer will I hide from sight

I am beauty power and light divine

I stand and face what is rightfully mine

Fears be dammed and demons run

I am the only one

This is my life no longer yours

A crack is heard beyond the doors

Walls are breaking deep within

With strength and love my life begins

A scream a yell a curse or two

No more will I yield to you

Years of torment trials and pain

My strength has been regained

A soul returns and laughs for hours on end

Broken no more and whole again

Paint runs off a happy face

I am free from this place

Divided no longer

Each day I grow stronger....
