A Demon I've Become

https://i.imgur.com/9Uhh4ee.jpg

You took away my will to live

you took away my heart

replaced it with stones and blood on my hands

Before you here I stand

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong

You took away my passion and love

You took away my light.

Replaced it with pain and darkness inside

Before you here I stand.

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong

You took away my freedom and joy

you took away my sight

Replaced it with chains and sorrow inside

Before you here I stand.

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong

You took, I gave and I'm here to claim

To take back what you stole

Replace my fear with pride in my heart

Before you here I stand

The sound of my soul so deafening raw

A demon I am in heart and soul

Whispers become screams I act upon

Your life belongs to me

A Few Questions:

I wanted to ask @poeticsnake some questions about A Demon I've Become as I love the poem.

Question 1:

What event(s) transpired for you to write this poem? was it something along the lines of a break up or an event such as having a best friend betray you?

Response 1:

I wrote this poem to reflect my feelings towards my past! I have had a rough past but I am NOT open to discus that openly! It's to private for me to share that kind of back ground on this poem I wrote. Let's just say that Betrayal was a big part of it!

Question 2:

How long did it take for your perspective/outlook on things to shift from the way it is at the beginning of your poem to the way it is at the end?

Response 2:

If we are talking about the real deal, I would say a few years. I took me a long time to finally gather all my strength and become my own master again.

Question 3:

What helped you through this time of your life? Does your poetry play a big aprt in helping you through tough times?

Response 3:

I always found peace and happiness in moments where I could be 100% myself. Alone and sometimes in the arms of a loved one. In the end, I would have to say that my own strong mind was the one thing that kept me going and helped me the most! My poetry is a big part of my way to let things go, to write them off my mind!
