That Inner Demon

When the visions around you
Do nothing but make you cry
And you feel all alone
Despite all the effort and tries.

You have no other choice
But weep until you finally stop
Find that silence deafened 
By your sobs and prayers

Finding that peace within yourself
Because dependence was never your thing
Although a little care would never hurt
Why be such a weak being?

Your mind drives you insane
And that lost sanity is all you have
While the demon gnaws silently
And you stand and watch helplessly.

Strong from out, weak from inside
Shattered minds, going mad
Are all a part of that one thing
That every sad song does sing.
