I yearn to be alone
yet cannot find a place...
My demons follow me
wherever I may go...
So I turn my head
and move to follow them...
Confused by my actions
they begin to lead...
They lead me to a place
that causes the soul's unrest...
They lead me to a home
of a mother and her forgotten child...
We travel the world
and the world below...
We journey through hell
with the lost and the hopeless...
Finally we stop
in the darkest corner of hell...
They turn to me with evil grins
and very soon there was no more......
She stands unguarded...
~In the sight of all....
She crys for hope...
~But no one cares....
She screams for help...
~But no one listens....
She pulls out her knife...
~Feeling overwhelmed....
Her pain feels too great...
~She feels there's but one relief........
The dark red stream runs down her arm...
~Creating a puddle at her feet....
The people pass her by...
~As she falls to her knees....
The puddle grows rapidly...
~And her eyes glaze over....
She smiles to the sky...
~Feeling as though her work is complete....
The people gather 'round the girl...
~Seeing a tragedy they could have prevented........

Very well written. Nice rhythm, excellent language, and killer last line. You've got chops. Keep it up, by all means.
