Centipede Demon
by Sam M. Phillips

Seeking conquest,
But I detest
Being put to the test,
Lay me to rest,
The best is behind,
Cannot find
Peace of mind.

Lined coffin calls,
My mood falls,
Writing stalls,
Centipede demon crawls
Into my ear,
Whispers of fear.

Stifle a tear,
Pain always near,
Sear my brain,
Seek to clear
Away the debris,
What the hell is bothering me?
