My Demons

It isn't possible to describe how I feel
just know the pain is real
It hurts
like shards of glass piercing my heart
At least, what's left of it
don't throw a fit
I may not be near
but I'm always here
I might act alright
but in reality I can't see the light
My heart is shattered
long has it been battered
I can't keep my demons at bay
they've dragged me away
These feelings, they aren't new
I have nothing and no one to return to
Why should I walk this earth?
I haven't got worth
I can't keep these demons at bay
but somehow I'll get away
I'm not at their whim
I am not them
To get better, it'll take longer
Perhaps I'll get stronger
