different demons

i am passion and noize
but i am not you

sometimes i look like you
we shop at the same stores
what did you expect?
i can’t invent everything

but inside
after all
blood, bone, and organs
are pushed back
after the invisible core
is dissected

we understand
we are affected
afflicted
tormented
by different demons

does that make
contradictory
our gods?

is that why
we fight so fervidly
to make everyone else
see our way?
