    This is a poem about a dark time in my life when i was extremely depressed, suicidal, and i need to write about it, this is the first draft, just give me some constructive criticism.

    The Devils In My Mind
    The devil that dwells in the pain of self-doubt
    Has cast a shadow across my soul
    Engulfing the labyrinth of my mind
    And smothering the crimson beat of my heart
    This parasite dwells in the most hurtful of places
    In the mocking cheers of supposed friends
    And lurks in the back of my mind chipping away at my sense of reality
    Life has become one big dream, a nightmare in fact
    One that is unescapeable
    Nights are dark and long and daylight drifts by without a whisper
    The lights are fading, there's not an end in sight
    Scared I lie alone, unable to escape this reality
    Days and nights wander past, shadows are more prominent
    But slowly this lonliness passes, light is apearing at the end of the tunnel
    The end is in sight, the devils have moved on
