her demon

The tears fill up her eyes and stream down her face.

No matter how hard she tries to wipe the tears away, 

it's like more keeps coming.

She lies awake in bed, 

her thoughts going into circles until her head hurts. 

Everything hurts.

She's got a war in her mind.

This girl, who smiles happily like nothing happened, 

is the one who cries every night.

And she doesn't want anyone to know.

But deep inside, she's begging for help.

For release of the sadness and the hopelessness that lives inside her, 

wanting to be free.

Like a demon possessing her every night.

She doesn't want to feel this way, but she can't help it.

She is not strong enough to battle her demon. Her demon.

Everyone has a demon inside them.

But every human treat their demons differently.

Some battle it and some let it take over.

It is up to the person to decide.
