Demon

The fire's back, wanting to play
Won't push him back, not today
.

Thoughts are blurring
Words are slurring
.

Of his free drug I will partake
Quiet and caution I forsake
.
I belong to him alone
He's smiling atop his throne
.

The words I spew,
Are they true?
.

Reason is quite gone
He will feast upon
.

All your pain and weakness
He's hidden all my meekness
.

I yell, fire surging.
Is he burning, purging
.
Something inside of me?
I guess we'll have to see!
.
I want you to know
This power, it makes me glow
.
I've let him free
He's consuming me
.
Possessed I am so strong
He'll be gone before too long
.
Could push him away.
I won't; not today.
.
Today this feels so fine.
This fiery demon is mine.
