desiderata

demons

The clock hit midnight

And the darkness returned

Turning white to black

Morphing right to wrong

And bringing out the demons

Demons that eat your mind

They turn right to wrong

White to black

Turn a human, level-headed and wise

Into a raging, feral beast

That thrives on the deep

Demons cloud a steady head

Sending you into a fog

Twisting your ideas

Into ones you never thought of

Demons go past your brain

And eat your heart

Living isn't real

When the demons afflict your soul

You're living life as an empty husk

A dried-out shell

But the remains can be repaired

Wrong can twist back to right

And the colors can return

If only you try

And promise to never let

The demons infect your heart

After they have gone
