Internal Strife

by Sam M. Phillips

I’m my only true friend,

I send myself mad,

I make myself feel sad,

It’s too bad

I don’t enjoy you as much,

It is such

A lonely life,

Internal strife,

Rife with demons,

They bite,

They fight

Me on every point,

I do not anoint

Them king,

They seem to bring

Their own power,

See them glower

As I cower

In the corner,

Former human being,

No longer seeing

A reason to go outside,

I hide inside,

Trying to confide

In myself again,

I know the pain

I go through,

There’s nothing you can do,

The demons are stuck like glue,

They chew through my membrane,

They cause the internal strain,

There they go again,

Repeating their game,

It’s always same,

Being so negative,

I don’t know why I give

Them so much space,

I try to race

Away from them,

But I seem to depend

On them now,

I don’t know how

It got to be like this,

I miss the old days,

Before my wicked ways

Became manifest,

Things were best

When I went outside.
