The Inner Demon - Layers of Me Pt. III

I am a firm believer that every person has some form of inner demon that they either acknowledge or ignore. Humans have very strong belief systems and opinions - we can be stubborn, have hate and resentment, and often a lingering lack of forgiveness towards ourselves or others. I have suffered from toxic relationships and experienced trauma that I have a very hard time finding forgiveness towards as I never had closure from those experiences. The lack of closure has been like a poison that manifested itself in the form of anger and resentment. I also have a hard time finding love for my family members who have hatred in their hearts towards LGBTQ+, BIPOC, AAPI, etc. and do not want to live in a world where freedom is real and not just a word. This piece is the expression of the anger, pain, resentment, etc. that I feel towards the trauma I've had and the struggle to move forward from it as well as the anger I feel towards others who have hateful hearts.
