Demon that I am

I love this silence

Because it seduces me to sleep

I like this darkness

Because it grants me darker peace

I loathe expectations

Because they take me away

And make me something

That doesn't want to stay

I love the open savage

But love it when I'm alone

And when I'm fury

It gives me the darker tone

I love this haunting

That makes me feel so brave

Some laugh at that

Helping themselves to an early grave

I love my vicious

Sometimes it lets the demons show

And when among the sheep

They know to whom they bow

I love this temptation

Of a chase, yet to find

And I love the madness

As it drives me out of my mind

I loathe that weakness

When people fear the unknown

And try to banish us

Thinking we harm their homes

But I love such daring

To do just what they hate

And jump into situations

When they dare tell me to wait

I love all power

To make people come so close

Then to attack and smother

Till death is a heavy dose

And I love my being

With its recklessness and anger

As I embrace it fully

Wrecking havoc but never to conquer

So I love my demon

Halting as many hearts as I can

If not acceptance then fear me

For the demon that I am
