Demon (National Poetry Writing Month 2024 #16)   Leave a comment

Stare at the sun until your eyes start to hurt
Bury your ideals six feet in the dirt
Wash in the blood of your innermost child
Become the prophet,eyes desperate and wild
Become the monster, devour their dreams
Drink in their misery, bathe in their screams
Become the demon you know you must be.
Become the demon that they want to see.
