INNER DEMONS
 

I'm sick of pretending everything is okay.
I'm sick of having to put on a mask everyday.
I'm sick of hearing people tell me lies.
I'm sick of living with no replies.
I'm sick of life as I feel alone.
No one really understands my pain
but they paint a pretty face and say "It will be okay?"
Of course, I am weak and play along
but in my head I'm screaming, "You are wrong!"

My head goes to places that a pure soul would faint at.
My heart tries to stop beating but my body won't admit that.
I have no where to turn to for my options are out.
So I do what I have to do and keep a front.
However, the insides of me are crying for help.
Every night, I can't help but cry.
These demons are strong and I can not carry on.
But this is my battle, no matter the result.

I'm sick of being judged, feeling eyes on me.
I'm human so why can't you let me be?
I make mistakes too so why are you disappointed?
Am I a fool for wanting to be like you too?
I guess I am as I never seem to fit in.
I try to be decent and try to peel my skin.
No matter how hard I try, everyone makes fun.
I know I am not normal but don't treat me like a beast.
I know I am not loved but don't shun me.
All I want is for someone to be quiet and love me.
All I want is for someone to have fun and forget what I have done.
But's this is impossible, even with my friends, as they are to eager for the next piece of hurt.

I'm sick of having to life up to expectations.
Sometimes I exceed them while sometimes I fail.
It hurts my heart to know that I have failed.
Yet, there is so much I can do so please don't ask for more
but I guess I can't say anything anymore.
I've lost my own voice as others drown it out for me.
"You're Asian so you must be smart."
"You're Asian so you must want to be a doctor."
"You're fat, lose some weight."
"You're ugly, try some cake."
"You're weird, try to act normal."
"I  feel bad for you since you aren't like us. You are in your own world thus you have it the worst."
These words sting and it hurts, but I can't help but try to live by them.
Bit by bit, I change myself while I start to lose myself.
I guess no one really lets me be regardless of who I want to be.
They all have ideas of what I'm suppose to be.

There is so much I can do, so what more can I do?
Is it fun to see me suffer alone?
Is it fun to see me cry alone?
Are you enjoying yourselves, you disgusting dogs?
You already ruined my heart now you want more.

I give you flesh but you are not satisfied.
I give you blood but you want more.
No matter how hard I try, my insides start to dry.
No one really cares on what I have to say.
No one really cares on what I want.
No one really cares on what I feel.
No one really cares for those they consider below,
which means no one really cares for me.
It's hard you know, to put on a mask and do daily tasks.
There are times where I cry out of the blue.
While there are times when I can barely get through.
Sometimes, my masks cracks and I still have to act.

I know I am suppose to reach out to those,
but how can I when they are in their own world?
Most of my friends would be disgusted with me,
especially with all the comments they say to me.

Oh yes, it hurts but what makes it worst
is that they have more words.
Sure, they mean well but I thought they were suppose to care.
But who am I to say anything as I'm way worse.
Still, I want to live life normally, not trying
to fight for a will.

Despite my wishes, there is no kisses.
My friends make fun with words that hurt like a fired gun.
Those who care say it's not fair.
They say I should move on and get a on with life.
In reality, I can't. It's hard to leave those I broke bread with and had fun.

I guess I was made to be alone.
No one understands nor do they try.
Partially I am to blame for I carry a flame.
I draw a line, not wanting to die.
Even so, I can't help but lie.
I'm sick of life and all it's lie.
I guess there is no such thing as a better life.

Chapter 87: I didn't place anywhere, but thank you for hosting this contest! I'm just happy I got to see so much talent all together in one place. People like me who didn't win, take heart! There were so many wonderful and inspiring entries, I'm sure it was difficult for the judge to pick only a few winners. Know in your soul that one contest does not define who you are as a writer, and that in the end you are the only critic who truly matters; decide that your passion and imagination are a victory in themselves, and please, never stop writing. Also, congratulations to the winners! You accomplished something exciting. Find someone to brag to! Even if it's only an online contest between friends and fellow writers, this competition was held by a real person. There's a person out there who saw something special in your writing, and I think that's pretty amazing. And finally, to all of you who joined the contest like me, you have my respect. It takes courage to show your writing, to share a little piece of yourself with us and I admire that. Everyone here deserves to feel proud. ❤❤❤

Chapter 87: Congrats to the winners! I wasn't even sure I'd manage to snag a place in either of the categories but I'm glad that you liked an entry of mine. ^^ I haven't read everyone's entries (because dang, 79 entries total is a lot) but I'm sure they're all great! I'll definitely come back to read your explanations and maybe get to read a few more of the entries (I forgot where I left off though), haha.

Congrats to the winners again and thanks for hosting this cool contest!
