everywhere they lurk, looking for their next victim
some try to stay away, but always end up tripping
the demons within us are always there
even though some are hard to bare
mental illness, drugs, sex, alcohol whatever the case may be
those demons always find a way to stay in the lead
these demons we have can be defeated
with the love of family and friends who come when needed
fighting them is not easy
you have to maintain a certain speed
giving up sometimes feels like the only thing left to do
always remember there is only one YOU
ask for help, beg and plead
don't let the demons plant their seed
if you feel the darkness caving in
there are people who can lend a hand.
so when you're feeling like the end is near
reach out to those who will always be there.
these demons among us are always lurking
but this time, i will not be their next victim.
