Hello!
This was an interesting poem that I think a lot of people can relate to. I think the subject matter was pretty solid, and your imagery was pretty good as well. The reader can imagine what's actually going on based on your words.
There are several little technical details that could be fixed.
First, the very technical: spelling and grammar.
I'm pretty sure you meant "lie" there. "Lye" is a cleanser.I lye awake at night waiting for them
Right there, it should be "plain sight" because "plane sight" would be in the sight of an airplane.Right in plane sight
I don't think you need the comma there. Speaking of punctuation, I notice you have some punctuation, but not all the punctuation you need for it to be "correct." If you want me to go through what the correct punctuation is, feel free to pm me.Your demons don't play, hide and seek.
In several places, your wording seemed... off to me.
I noticed that you don't actually say the word "demons" (which is what I assume you're referring to by "they" the entire poem) until really late into the poem. All the "theys" actually confused me a bit, as well as all the "yours." I'd try to remove the repetitiveness of these words.
Also, you seem to be trying to rhyme in a few places, but there's no definite scheme that I can see. I think it would be best if you tried not to rhyme at all. It would feel less like you were trying to rhyme and failed in parts. Ether that or make a regular scheme for it.
I hope this helps! Keep writing!
