She walks amongst sinners and murderers alike
those who kill for the pleasure of death in the night.
Fearlessly going where others would never venture,
they can't harm her more than her own inner tension.
She has long since learnt that the true horror of life
are the demons that dwell in unquiet, frenzied minds.
She battles these demons each and every day
as they try endlessly to take her sanity away.
Nothing compares to what haunts her scarred, weary self
with their words that are shouted but not said aloud,
that scurry and seek to crawl out of her normal facade
to glimpse the light of day and reveal their disquiet.
Her demons shriek and scream for their final release
they want to show others the tortured nature of the beast.
Next time you got out, watch others and you will see
that behind their calm faces, they are riddled with unease.
