Demons are drawn to the dark



Demons are drawn to the dark.

They live in all of our negativity.
They hide in the dark.
Afraid of the light.
Not brave are they, they will shy away.
Waiting until you are weak.

Demons are drawn to the dark.
So try to be strong.
They only exist if we let them live.
They may not be physically real to see.
They may not even exist in reality.
It could be just a build up of your bad thoughts and negativity.
But if it is a battle in life and they may give you an enemy to focus upon.

Demons are drawn to the dark.
Don't let your courage wain.
Light up the darkness.
From your spirit within.
Remember how you are strong.
How you can fight.
You can turn on the light.
But be warned.

Demons are drawn to the dark.
