Array ( [sid] => 5510 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => My Demon [time] => 2002-10-23 20:00:00 [hometext] => Pretty much from the start, as some of you may know from my other poetry, one of her concerns is whether i will change or not once we're together. i haven't changed in a year, but the concern is still there, because we aren't together. Way back in December I told her the only way I'll change is by keeping our situation the way it is, meaning eventually my strength will fail and that may affect who I am. Well, lately I feel that starting to happen. The littlest things are upsetting and I've been getting angry quite easily, I don't want her to start thinking this is who I am. Last week we had a fight over something fairly stupid and I pretty much snapped, then I start crying uncontrolably in her arms for about 20 minutes... I really feel I'm starting to "lose it" and that's what this is about. [bodytext] => My pain, your doubt
The uncertainty
The pressure of it all
Is eating away at me
My inability to prove
The loneliness, the tears
I’m being consumed
By my biggest fears
I can feel the true me
Slowly slipping away
It started before the breakdown
I had just the other day
We started to argue
My head began to spin
I could no longer suppress
The demon that lies within
It gained control of my emotions
I couldn’t hear myself think
I felt myself falling
Standing at sanitys brink
I tried to flee
To leave the demon behind
You were still yelling
No peace could I find
The slightest things are upsetting me
And the demon comes on strong
I try to hold it back
But can’t fight it very long
Then out of nowhere
My tears begin to flow
I didn’t want you to see it
My demons face did show
It’s slowly overtaking me
I cannot make it go
Suffocating the real me
My hearts only foe
You were so surprised
You’ve never seen this side
But it wasn’t me you saw
It was the demon that hides
The demon hides inside me
Attempting to stifle my heart
I’m afraid with some time
He’ll completely tare it apart
I’m at peace most the day
He comes to me at night
Filling my head with fears
Too many for me to fight
I’m powerless against it
The demons starting to win
I need your love to help me
Defeat my demon within
As each night passes by
The demons strength multiplies
He thrives on this situation
And the way my heart cries
I need you to save me
Before “me” is gone
My heart needs your support
To push my demon along [comments] => 9 [counter] => 277 [topic] => 13 [informant] => MisterRight [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 33 [ratings] => 9 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

I know how you feel - it's kind of eerie to read what you write because it's like a mirror - I have done the same things and been thoroughly annoyed at myself afterwards. With all of the strain of trying to keep up a front, with hoping, with pouring all your energies into trying to make this work - eventually something snaps, after all we're only human, and can only take so much.

Out of something incredibly painful, your poetry is such a wonderful gift to everyone that reads it.

Curtis, everyone changes. Everyone. And change isn't bad either. In some people in can be. But change is the result of learning. And it's necessary in life. I am sorry that you got to the point of breaking down. But I think the weight you are carrying around with you is finally getting to much. Things will work out though. How it all ends up is uncertain, and always will be. But I assure you, it will work out.

In order to rise a person must first be lowered and in order to see angels, a person must fight the demons... that's just how life is....Good write Curtis

this is so sad, but yet we all go through this one time or another, your heart is too pure to wait around for the next heartache to break you, free your mind and soul and soon you will have what you want and desire

As with the last peice of work that I read of yours, I can relate. Hidden demonsaren't as easily dealt with as those who never face them may think. One again I say good luck, and best of wishes towards the fight
