This Is War

Demons hover over my shoulder hauntingly,
Like the shadows of an eager assassin.
And they’re just waiting to make their kill.

Heavily standing over me tauntingly,
I let them whisper harsh and frightful thoughts.
They push me down, force me from the world against my will.

But this is a battle I must begin to fight,
and I need to fight with effort.
This war with evil inside my head can soon be over.

Because even after my many weak nights,
these hungry demons cannot draw blood
without a willing donor.
