Demon in me

there is an evil that lives here

a demon in this house

he is everywhere

i see it in the mirror

i break the glass

maybe it will go away

but it is still here

i run

he follows

i scream

he roars

i cry

he laughs

i claw at my eyes not to see

but i hear him

i dig into my ears not to listen

but i feel him

i cut into the flesh

but he is still there

there is no escape

no relief

from this demon

from this evil

from myself
