Demons and Skeletons
Cammeron Widick 1980 (Omaha, NE)
It’s night time
There’s an empty shine
As the moon lights
I’m Intertwined
Thinking terrible thoughts
All consuming
My heart is pounding
What am I doing?
Skeletons from my closet come
They take me away
They bring me to the a place
without any escape
And now I’m captive
held down by my own fears
Living inside a dream I can’t leave
Or even hear for years
The demons in me scream
I scream back
Then I look in the mirror
Waiting to attack
This is my time
This is my life
I will win
or I will try
I push the demons down
I break the skeletons
I take control
No more of this
This is my life
I will win
The demons and skeletons
Can try to break me
But I will take control
Eventually
