Demon

There's a demon in my head
Whispers things
I never said
Tells me
I should stay in bed but
I get up and push instead
The mirror shows a stranger's face
A man learn to run the race
I keep my pace.
I hold my place
The demon knows
I want to race
I hear you calling demon
I keep on falling but
I keep standing tall
I won't let you take it all
The night is long, the road is cold.
I've been through stories never told
The demons grip is getting old but
