I need to break free of myself,

And the demons inside.

I don’t want to hurt the ones I love,

Don’t want to burden the innocent.

My demons are controlling my actions,

They are devouring my soul as fuel.

I can’t stop what I am becoming inside,

Unless I break free of their hold.

I feel as though I am bound to shackles,

Chains are around my waist,

But I will fight these demons,

To free myself of them,

I will not hurt the ones I love.

I will do anything for you to trust me again.

I will break free of myself,

And I will walk the long road to salvation.

Don’t leave me here,

Stranded and all alone.

I know I can be better,

I will fix the ones I broke,

And comfort the ones I hurt.

I need to break free of myself,

Before these demons,

My enemies,

Take over.

Wow, I know just how this feels: regret for hurting people you care about. Yes, it was shorter than you other poems, but I still liked it the same. ^^ Keep writing!

Yeah... Haha. Thanks :D

Hey ashen :)

A lot of people have these feelings and it is definitely better to express them through this outlet. I really appreciate honesty and the artist's connection in poetry, and you completed both of those wonderfully. I love your style and this poem! Regan

AAAH! Do not give up your fight! walk that long road to salvation! We all have demons that need to be set free! Just keep un pereservring(not good with the big words) and you'll find yourself in a much lighter situation in the end!
