My Demons

by Johnny Marlin 2   Dec 3, 2004


In The Dark Of The Night
I Look All Around
I Stare At The Sky
Then To The Ground

I Listen To The Silence
With No One Aware
I Stalk The Night
Without A Care

But Tonight Was Different
Silent To A Fault
No One Was Aware
Of The Demonic Cult

They Came From The Shadows
With Overwhelming Speed
Memories And Pain
Are How They Feed

The Demons Surround Me
And Push Me To The Wall
I Reach For My Knife
To Begin The Brawl

I Swing With All Might
An Attempt To Wound
They Dodge And Attack
As I Realize I'm Doomed

What Did I Do
To Deserve This Death
I Struggle For Life
As I Catch My Breath

I Look To The Sky
But Hell Is My Fate
I Hear The Screams
As I Look At The Gate

I Gather My Strength
As I Block Out The Pain
I Step To My Feet
And Clear My Brain

The Demons Are Gone
I Am Without A Scratch
Because Now I Realize
From Where They Did Hatch

The Demons Weren't Genuine
Just Memories And Hate
An Illusion Created
From Depression's Weight

The Pain And The Hurt
Overwhelmingly Real
Are Sure To Return
This Pain Doesn't Heal

    Man you make me jealous haha. No you're my role model.. you know what I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. You've got some serious talent. Never stop.

    The first time I read this, I got kind of annoyed at all the capital letters. They kept this strain on me, and I found it difficult to concentrate on your poem. I stopped reading just stanzas before the end. For some reason that keeps me from finishing reading a lot of your work. In the end I did managed to finish, though.

    Well, what can I say... the capital letters were unique, and... bothersome, I must admit... But I praise you for a job well done.

    This part is extremely effective..
