I am plagued by invisible demons,
and the demons of others.
Their mistakes and shame burn my flesh.
Invisible demons that,
swarm like flies on a hot summer’s day,
Persistent, irritating.
Invisible demons that,
Breathe alcoholic odors into your face,
With repetition and ignorance.
Invisible demons that,
Crawl like a ticking beetle on your skin.
Invisible demons that,
Corral your emotions and freeze your heart.
Invisible demons that,
Slowly and insidiously rip you apart.
