Demons

Jennifer Hanba
Living with my demons,
they taunt me day and night.
I live with their torture,
I see no end in sight.

I haven't the courage to confront them,
I obey them with fear.
They cause me pain and agony,
at me, they leer.

I cry out for help,
but no one answers me.
They have taken me down so far,
that no one can see.

They are holding me down tightly,
I cannot take a breath.
I am getting so weary,
I begin to pray for death.

So now I will take my terror,
and put it to use.
No longer will I be a victim.
I will not suffer this abuse.

I muster all of the courage,
that I have inside.
I push the demons off of me
and pray that God will be my guide.
