MY DEMONS

My demons haunt me on the blackest nights

Cracking my soul inside its fleshy shell

When I fear Darkness shall defeat the Light

It gives them strength to drag me into hell

Here comes Depression with her heavy veil

That weighs me down so I begin to sink

In cold seawater, where I always fail

To reach the surface before taking a drink

And when Doubt comes with his favorite whip

Disappointment is not far behind

Their sharpened claws are meant to tear and rip

The flowers of Confidence out of my mind

My demons haunt me on the blackest nights

But with your help I will continue to fight
