Demons (rewrite)

We all have demons

We know 


Yet we pretend we don't

We act as if

we're all angels 


We pretend that 

we will always shine,

that we will always be okay


Stop telling me it's going to be okay

you're not the first nor last 

person to tell me that 

Those 5 words repeated in my head

for the past 5 years


It will be alright


it will be alright


I don't want to follow my dreams 

Those are nightmares

Why would I follow them


I'll never forget what I've done

what they've done

What we've done


I cry and I cry and I cry but the pain in me never dries up
