The fallen



Life has been a very crazy cool, happy sad, painful, but joyful ride. Up's and down's, with plenty of side to sides. I've laughed, I've cried, and always made it through to the other side. I've always tried to live the best I could, and do all the things that I should. But no one knows me better than me, and deep down inside remains a demon you see. He comes when I'm weak, yet he carries no sound. He attacks me with severity when no one's around. He laughs and mocks me and all my mistakes. He reminds me constantly of how life will never be great. He tells me that she will never love me that's true, but to kill him means the end of me too. Tonight I feel we will battle again, maybe this time I will finally let him win. I know as I sit here tired and beat. My confidence in me lay still at my feet. My strength is gone and so is my will. As he pulls the trigger, I can only stand still. I'm just too tired, too tired to beg. My life isn't worth it, I have too many regrets. Convictions weigh heavy on this broken heart, if I could only find forgiveness, but where would I start. For what I have done, it's not worth forgiving, so I'll let the demon take me from the living. May the next place I go be filled with gold, and the demon can't follow and seek my soul. I'll finally be away from pain you see, and to the one I love, you shall be free...

    This poem is just amazing and its crazy how one can write like this its just so beautiful in a sense of basically arguing with yourself and realizing that you shouldn't talk to yourself like this but you know what your saying has some truth to it i can relate to every word being used and its just hitting some part of me that needed to hear something like this from someone else's in pov and you wrote it in a way i couldn't its like he was speaking with his experience and knowledge of the English language and its so well spoken i can learn so much from this poet and i couldn't see myself writing something so well spoken its just amazing overall emotionally
