In the light, she hides
For then they can see it in her eyes
The demon that lye's inside
In the darkness, she thrives
Her biggest fear as a child
Now, a blanket of comfort
A safe haven
As she sits in a corner of the room
Head in her knees, drawn to her chest
Tears escaping closed eyes
Darkness surrounds her, comforting and reassuring
Trying to fight the demon inside
Her body grows weak
This evil being to strong to tame
Suddenly, everything stills
Disbelieving she thinks, It's done
Keeping her eyes closed, she stands
Takes a shaky breath and
After a moment
A small smile begins to creep across her face
Her body convulses
A strangled cry escapes her lips
The lights come on
Her eyes fly open
Shining bright, gorgeous red
In the light, she thrives
In the darkness, she hides
The demon has taken over
