We act like angels
In front of our parents and elders
But inside we fight everyday
We fight the demon waiting to escape all of us

The demon inside all of us
The one we hide so deep inside
It will one day escape
We are all demons inside

Fighting what is right
And for what is wrong
Some do better jobs than others
But some day that demon will escape

Even if for a moment
But it shall be to late

I like how your poem is about the human nature inside all of us. We try to hide our savagery, but it's always lurking there, even inside the best of us. In our society we try to hide it, but in some the evil side does emerge. This poem is true, and I like how it's also about something different than most of the poetry I've read so far.
