The Demon in My Head

The Demon in My Head.
by Dan Ankers

Whenever I look at myself
I can see behind my eyes
a petty design
Sometimes a glaring monster
staring back at me
in cold glass

Sometimes when I dream
I see screams given life
like walking apparitions
that represent my conditions
I know
They still stare back at me though
Its odd
It's not about heaven or God

Well, not much

They represent the things I
Can't control or touch
When I see them staring back at
Me
They represent things
in my head
So, they wont't be present
when I'm dead

It's really just me and this life
The faces I see, I create...by my very own mental
State
And I'm not talking Nebraska
Or Some beast in Alaska
I'm talking about my face in a mirror
and the things I see in dreams
because lately they are Extreme
I must admit

Yet, I would have it
no other way
I must also
admit.
