For years, Charlie tried fighting this demon by himself
This was not one strangers could handle from afar
It usually started deep within his brilliant mind
Yet when it came to this one thing he became unwise
Losing out on many chances on something he wanted
Something many others had no matter the time of year
On paper he and the demon were one and the same
But in reality it was as if Charlie was facing a stranger
One that got bigger and stronger over some time
Charlie’s friends had an idea that it existed
They try their best to help Charlie combat the demon
Insisting him not to give up and to not let go
However they soon were shut out of that part of life
Not knowing what goes on when he’s not around
They now joined his family as part of the dark
Charlie thought doing so would protect them
Preserving each one from the anticipation
Only to see failure each and every time out
He would go on to fight this battle alone
Some time passed where there was tranquility
Only because he ignored what woke the demon
Yet he knew time would soon run out
The secret could not remain hidden long
They would see the diamond in the rough
And then one day another walked by him
Yet one more temptation he felt confused of
The feeling that he should approach
But he knows the demon will feast if so
Either by quickly throwing them aside
Or wasting their time before bidding adieu
Again Charlie knows the clock hastens
He doesn’t want to bunk with it no more
It was time to finish off the demon here
Except he knows he can’t do it alone
His friends will have to aid in the cause
And one other person must take part
See the demon attacks the thing it fears
Often the demon wins single-handedly
While Charlie watches in despair afar
Because there’s rarely resistance to it
This other person that enters the fray
Will be the one to fight back at the demon
See this person must not be frightened
If they’re shy they must develop courage
They cannot be frustrated at the setbacks
Whether communication or connection
The demon will pull out all the stops
And so call it out and do not run away
As Charlie lives in positivity and delight
The demon grows weaker at such sight
When Charlie laughs and has the fun
His demon riots for it to be done
It will look for any flaws it can find
To show to Charlie to leave them behind
No one is perfect including this person
But if they’re pure in heart and caring
If they’re bold, determined and trusting
As well as eager to explore the unknown
Then as long as they stay persistent at it
They could be the one to help kill the demon
For so long Charlie has tried to do it alone
But life and it’s struggles get easier with help
His friends have tried and will try once more
Because if this person is indeed the one to do it
They will all give it their best to hold Charlie’s hopes
While Charlie must keep his benevolent core open
The demon will try to escape at this moment
But this person will absolutely not let it go
It will attempt one last time to affect Charlie
However his friends will be there by his side
And then that person will ultimately break his curse
That person is the One he finally falls in love with. . .
