Dialog With My Demons Poem by Sven Rhoads

Take a seat and show yourself
Tonight's the night we hammer this out
Just me and you and no one else
No more need to scream and shout

You've been hiding behind my eyes for so many years
You've brought me pain, misery, and countless tears
Its all over cause I'm taking back full control
I have bent but never broke, you cannot take my soul
You are the very worst that came from my anatomy
And now I'll banish you to the flames of the sea
My final offer is to get out while you still can
You're not facing a child you're dealing with a man

Red burning eyes consume your face
Your silver tongue speaks blasphemies
Only one of us will leave this place
Its here and now, no time for eternity

You've dragged me over the sharp broken glass
You've poisoned my mind into a full relapse
Grabbed by the throat you will answer to me
Cause I will take no more, I will be free
If its war you want then dont hope for peace
I will break you down to find my sweet release
I will take these things to a whole new level
So run back to hell cause I'm coming for the devil

So there are my cards upon the table
Show that this is no stupid joke
I've come fully ready and able
But now all I see is a cloud of smoke
