My demon

I stare at myself in the mirror,
And see my true self clearer.
I know I can't hide forever,
My demon is way too clever.

He holds me tight in his embrace,
Alone I find no grace.
I see the cuts he caused on my arms,
They gave my mother much alarm.

My demon say's he loves me,
But his love is not what I need.
Despite his charm,
He causes me great harm.

His eyes show through mine,
So beautiful and devine.
My friend's ask what's wrong with me,
I whisper, "I'm not free."

My demon takes over my life,
As he takes that knife,
He wants me to die,
So I start to cry.

Then a pain he knows all too well,
Fills me like fire straight from hell.
I'm sorry mother, I'm sorry father.
I'm sorry I was'nt stronger.
