DEMON WITHIN

Someone says," I've heard how it was and how bad you must feel", and you slip back in time, where it's all still too real; where images flash before your mind's eye, your silent screams heard only inside.

The hot winds of war blast in your head. You whisper," No more!", but you're back with the dead where, just as before, your vision goes red and you fight to control the fear.

Fear of the beast who lives deep inside; a monster who killed, then laughed when you cried. Fear of the horror you see in their eyes when you try to explain how it was.

The Beast, the demon who fed you those lies, still lives on the guilt which you try to hide.

He kidnapped the boy who once lived inside, and still holds him for ransom today.

So you've learned to be silent; it's all in the past. You keep it inside you whenever they ask, but you know it's there, waiting to be freed once again...

And you'll be fighting forever, that demon within.
