Demon

This is my first fanfic, so be nice in the reviews, please! No flames, as I have a fire extinguisher right here!

I came up with this one during exams. I was feeling dark and angsty, so this is the product of that!

You call me Demon.

You say I am what I contain.

I hold it, so I must be it.

You vent your pain from unhealed wounds

Onto me.

Punishing the Demon

For actions committed years ago.

But, you can't hurt the Demon directly.

So, you do the next-best thing.

You hurt me.

At first I just took it,

Not realizing why You did this

I had done nothing.

I had hurt no one.

I screamed this as your blows fell,

Your words seared, and your blades flashed.

But you didn't listen.

You were sure that it was the Demon

Trying to save itself.

So, you deafened your ears and continued.

But, you failed to realize

An important point

As you rent my soul

And spilled my blood.

I am not the Demon

I am not the being I imprison.

Every Blow you land,

Every stone that connects,

Every word that burns,

And every blade that cuts

Punishes an innocent child.

The Demon and I

Are two separate entities.

We aren't the same.

You call me monster.

That wasn't true. At first.

But, every punch, cut, or harsh word

Destroyed another piece of me

That still remained pure and innocent.

Until now.

If I am now a monster,

Then it is because you created it.

I am indeed a monster now,

But it isn't because of the Demon.

It is because of you.

And soon,

Quite soon,

You will reap

The True Demon.

The One

That You

Have Sown.

So, what do you think? Good, bad, somewhere in there? Please R+R!
