Facing my demons

I see nothing,
I am blind.
I feel nothing,
Brutal and unkind.
I am a ball of raging fire,
Raring to go,
At the person in front of you,
Who may not have a clue.

I do not discriminate,
Between the young and old,
Between men and women,
Between family and friends,
Not even between mothers and others.
A demon behind closed doors,
I am free of all relationships,
Ready to end all of yours.
Free-flowing like an untamed river,
I can make their blood run cold,
And their spines shiver.

Whether you are poor or rich,
I never charge a fee.
But I will be your end too,
If you don't stop me.
I am your end from the start,
To kill my creator slowly is my art.
Either you abandon me,
Or see me become quite a thorn,
You will wish I was never born.

With me, you will always be alone,
Without sleep, always awake,
My tongue is deadlier than fangs of a snake,
Spitting venom with so much zeal,
Causing wounds that never heal,
Ripping apart hearts of steel.

I can be faced by few,
And if I don't tell you,
You will never be able to figure,
That I am the anger...
Inside you.

Toxic

I looked for beauty in your damaged soul,
So I know it's my fault too, I don't blame you whole.
Though that won't stop us from moving apart,
I won't be the one applying bandages to your hollow heart,
Or walk you home when you are drunk and out of control,
By the time you realise it, I would be back in the foxhole.
Coz I have realised, you need some serious med,
And I'm better off sleeping on a single bed.
No strings attached was supposed to be easy,
Yet it kept my mind way too busy,
How did we end up with so much jealousy?
You have no idea how crazy you sound,
While your craving for attention knows no bounds,
The world is not enough to be your playground.
It all looks cool in the movies but reality bites,
All I want is to get that image out of my sight,
To the core it makes me sick,
This thing we have is nothing but toxic.
