An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or demon, frequently described in folklore and superstition. The word may perhaps derive from the term ympe, used to denote a young grafted tree.
Originating from Germanic folklore, the imp was a small lesser demon. It should also be noted that demons in Germanic legends were not necessarily always evil. Imps were often mischievous rather than evil or harmful, and in some regions they were portrayed as attendants of the gods.
Imps are often shown as small and not very attractive creatures. Their behavior is described as being wild and uncontrollable, much the same as fairies, and in some cultures they were considered the same beings, both sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun. It was later in history that people began to associate fairies with being good and imps with being malicious and evil. However, both creatures were fond of pranks and misleading people. Most of the time, the pranks were harmless fun, but some could be upsetting and harmful, such as switching babies or leading travellers astray in places with which they were not familiar. Though imps are often thought of as being immortal, many cultures believed that they could be damaged or harmed by certain weapons and enchantments, or be kept out of people's homes by the use of wards.

Genres: Short,i've got enough shit to put me down
i don't need to see the sun again
let the warmth seep into my veins
i've got all night to let my body cool down
you don't get anything from me
you don't mean anything to me
you can't see anything i see
i know two that see the beauty in me
if i believed a word you said
i'd wear a body around my neck
i've been lied to more than once
when i die we'll both be dead
you are being left out you are nothing
and everybody else has something that you want
you are still all alone you are unloved
and everybody else just wants to lie to you
i am still alive you will never beat me
and every single day i will tear you out
i feel your work in me you will never beat me
your claws leave marks in me
but i can make the sounds that make you go away
