Winnig the battle

Demons swirl inside my mind
Causing the good thoughts to hide
They take away my last safe place
Doubts now written on my face
They whisper to me, I’m not strong
That I was set to fail all along
The blood in my veins turns cold
As they start to take control
I feel their fingers on my skin
Now the fear is setting in
They tell me softly not to run
They just want to have a little fun
Now the knife is in my hand
Set to carry out their plan
They promise it will be ok
That this will take my pain away
“Drag the blade across your arm,
A few times won’t do any harm”
But deep inside I know it’s a lie
I won’t fall for this another time
So this time I’ll fight them back
They’re startled by my surprise attack
M y veins no longer running cold
I am slipping from their hold
As I’m setting down my knife
Relief falls from both my eyes
I’ve had enough, their games are done
This battle I have finally won.
