Demons and monsters
Oh how they  surround me,
Bickering and fighting
Oh how it astounds me.

One moment its perfect,
A picture of smiling faces.
The next they're stabbing and jabbing,
Losing all their graces.

By now,  I should expect it,
But still,  my heart rejects it.
Can't they see?
This constant war,  is hurting everyone, not only me...

Cursing and yelling,
They seem to go at it.
Day by day,
Night by night.

The moment the calm one snaps..
The moment the quiet one screams  "enough!!" 
The moment the bystander gets involved..
The moment they realize, they may not be right..

The world would fall apart.

They have to win
They are right
And no one can have a different opinion because it is just plain wrong

This is a poisonous, venomous environment.
Contaminating all who cross the threshold.
I don't want to be that way.
I don't want to be lead astray.
Can't I be like them
I can't sit around and play pretend.
One minute a smile, the next a scowl.
Finding new ways to make someone howl.

No. 
Not me.
You can play with the demons and monsters.
You can drink the poison,
Get injected with the venom.
Let all your worst emotions control you.
Jealousy, Hatred, Anger.
Sign a contract with the Devil at the prick of your finger.

But you can't take me with you. 
I don't find joy in hurting myself and those who love me.
No I don't think the monsters are cute,  or funny.
I don't wish to drink the poison in a cheerful toast.
I most definitely will not inject myself with the venom,
That is quite gross.

I'm finished with the lies and the games,
Why can't it just go back to being sane?

***********
Looking back at this I cant stop  laughing at the part that says "That is quite gross" like ???? Whyyyy??? XD
