Demons

Do you want to be a part of my chaos?
To seethe and burn in this mess,
to welcome the confusion, the panic, the pain,
and most of all, the anxiety followed by dread.
Do you want to breath the breathlessness of it all?
Feel the slow callusing of my heart and flesh,
meet the demons I live with and those who live within me,
who have inured to a sense of pleasure through me.
Do you want to befriend the ones that visit during solitude?
Touch the ones that crawl through my skin to reach my lungs,
those who bare their teeth and gnaw at my insides,
till I clutch my chest tight and silently cry in the dark.

Do you want to be no one and still be somebody?
Forget what the world thinks and accept my broken soul,
pick up my pieces and glue them back together,
I know I am not perfect but with you I can be better.
