Angels and Demons

By Samantha Belanger

Struggling to keep free,

Free from my sanity,

I never thought that everyone else would be consumed

Consumed in their savagery.

An angel is with me,

Helping me stay alive,

To stay until the come-

Come to save us….

Or rather me.

Because the demons got them

Filled their minds with nonsense,

With rage and I can’t take it,

Behind them are masks,

War paint,

Devil’s eyes

They ignore me,

Oh! Angel please help me

To remain good,

On your side.

For the devil

Is crouching on my corner,

Taunting me to become like them,

Good is what I stand for,

But evil is what I thirst for,

Where is my sanity?

Lost with the demons?

Guarded by the angels?

Or is it lost within me?

Who knows?

Evil is always there

I think that I am going mad!

Angels are good,

That’s where I would love to be,

But evil took me by surprise

Where did it go?

The good?

Right now it is all evil

Like a black hole,

I can’t get out of it.
