_{well they're clawing
at the door again
and this time i think
im going to let them in

oh i put on this mask
this fake facade
a veil of lies
to make the world
believe that i'm fine

my demons are gnawing
scratching against the walls
that i put up
to keep them out
when all along
i should have been
trying to face them down

i feel it deep in my
spine
and all i can do is
spiral out of control
grasping onto anything
that makes me feel real

except real is the last
thing that i want to feel
so i shovel pestilence
down my throat
to keep myself high
and avoid sobriety
and the inner monologue
that comes along with it

but i'm so desperate to
just feel anything
even when i take
everything to numb
myself
oh god it's about time
i let them in

no pretty white line
or pretty white pill
can quell their desire
and at the end of the day
my demons all wear my face}
