from the world unknown,
there's a secret that hides deep within her soul,
a box, a hidden chest, of whose key only she holds,
the heart unseen, it reflects the darkens that shadows her soul,
it threatens to conquer, swallow her whole,

eating her away, she is on the verge of shattering,
countless times she collected the pieces in efforts of mending them together again,

and again the darkness revolves, it shadows like the eclipse,
where is her sun, she looks around and questions if there is one to begin with,
it was a battlefield, the one where you have to keep fighting again and again,

to live another day, to survive,
to keep breathing, for she was alive,
dead inside, dead, sometimes she was living,
snatched away all her joy and happiness,

she didn't like the battlefield, in fact she hated it,
but what could be done about it,
it was just how life is,
it is a part, an agony to bear,
a monster to be fed everyday,

the demon is evil, it's always hungry,
always eating her away,
but she has to live with it,
stop resisting it,
for now it has become a part of her,
this is how her life is.
