Sitting cold, mind racing.
Emptiness is engulfing, and now overtaking.
Swatting away inner demons like an annoying little fly.
But they are inflaming every creavase of my soul, and eating me alive.
Creatures inside me longing to be released.
Spewing from my every pore.
With the hopes to feed on something more.
My house, My family, My life.
I watch as they all go up in flames.
As my inner demons take the reins.
They thirst for my wrath.
And relish in my failures.
No chains or locks can keep them entraped.
They twist my thoughts, and say my words.
Always keeping my pain fresh, with my vision blurred.
Will this pain ever end?
Fighting inner demons that aren't pretend.
Am I crazy?
Looking down an empty hall, with no one there to save me.

SOMEONE HELP!!!!

I believe this piece is the best of the three you have posted here. Your wonderful use of imagery captivated me throughout. You manage to say what few people can in a novel, in such a few short words.

You have a unique way of viewing things and the fact that you can make others see it is the most important thing.

Nice write.
