Dare you to embrace,
The demons…
The darkness…
The chaos…
Hidden inside are answers.
Answers to questions,
Most are not brave enough to quandary.

Would you face your demons?
Could you get lost in their bottomless eyes?
They tell you forgotten secrets,
Secrets so heinous,
You want to feel your soul ripping,
Your grey matter being pulled off in chunks,
Your heart is already in your bloody hands still beating.

Shrouded in darkness,
Yet you feel the caress,
Of your lovely demons.
They have not hurt you,
But brought out the true You.

The You shrouded from the world.
The You cowering behind marble walls, 
Your demons have sang You to acceptance,
You are not just viscera,
You are not achy bones and muscle stetched too thin,
You are like Zeus,
You are force of will.

Let your demons take over,
Just every other moonrise,
They are your truths layed bare,
They help you decide,
Cut the vein,
Cut the rope,
Or cut the umbilical cord,
That first gave you hope.
