My Demon's Name is Lonely

 My demon's name is Lonely.

He only comes out to play when it hurts the most.

Lonely reminds me of all my flaws. 

All the reasons people may dislike me. 

All the people who have fallen away.

My demon's name is Lonely 

and he's quite the attention whore. 

Lonely whispers in my ear 

but it's never things I like to hear.

I've heard these things before-

Lonely likes to repeat himself. 

But that doesn't make it hurt less.

My demon's name is Lonely

and he's honestly quite rude.

He treats me like a child with an awful attitude.

My demon makes me mean

he makes me hurt my friends.

My demon takes me to the dark

which I never knew was a where 

and not a what. 

My demon's name is Lonely

but I know he's not in charge.

My demon's name is Lonely

but my savior's name is Friend.
