Analysis of My Demon
My demon is a nightmare
My demon shouldn't be hard as it is
I see other people's demon and it's nothing like mine
My demon consist of suffering and adversity
I see other people's demon and it's rainbows and sunshine
My demon's suffering seems to never end
My demon doesn't care how much work I put in
I see my demon going down a dark path
My demon is not of my control
I see that my demon needs to come to an end My demon is persistent and it won't end easily
My demon is only ended at peace
I see my peace end and my demon comes back
My demon will only end if my peace stays forever
