What I've Become

It’s a subtle feeling
But my mind is reeling
This demon I fear
Seems to be so near
I can hear it walk
As it shadows my talk
This power I feel
It can’t be real


His step forward
Is my step back
He’s taking over me
Control’s what I lack
I just can’t stop
This demon inside me
His malevolent presence
Makes it had to breathe


Farther back I go
Where the road lies broke
One step closer
And I begin to choke
My eyes close tightly shut
I try to wish away
This thing forever part of me
That’s always here to stay
My body disappears
And I look into the mirror
To see the horrid image
Repeated in nightmares


Nothing’s changed at all
But the eyes of bloody red
I cringe in fear of her
And knew I’d soon be dead


My scream was such a sound
It woke all those around
I stood in such a hurry
But all I saw was blurry
I looked at my reflection
To take a full inspection
But I wasn’t prepared to see
The image in front of me
My knees gave out so quick
That it made my stomach sick
For in the mirror I saw
The one who made me fall
The nightmare I just had
Was not to make me mad
But to see where it was from
And show what I’ve become

    thank you for the entry. Vivid imagery throughout although I found the rhyme to be a bit inconsistant in places. Maybe it's just me ...
