The way this poem turned out, the speaker's main 'demon' was depression, but he had the strange gift of being able to see the demons of others. At first, he gained hope, realizing that maybe, united, there could be a chance to break free. Then he succumbs to his 'demon' again and decides that it's hopeless.727Please respect copyright.PENANAssTAKpf7eH
This poem was inspired by an awesome drawing, by DeviantArt user JnRnCn. Go check it out, it makes the poem mean more. Based on JnRnCn's picture, I wanted to give the impression that there are multiple kinds of demons that a person can have, but that everybody has some kind or another, with no human being exempted.727Please respect copyright.PENANAbWKBQDSMcJ
