This sounds like advice but I'm actually talking to myself, been having a few inner struggles, which never seem to end. However my weapons are praying, love and understanding, even with myself. I understand that I do not want my bad side ruling me, no way. I'll chump down to God's rules and use them.


Poem Artwork

We do our best
maybe more or less
than the rest
No matter what the degree
it becomes a personal test
Dependending on the 
depth of our mental arrest
We all are being held hostage
by unseen forces
We are the ones that truly know
how this affects our choices
At times our demons even
speak in voices

Do not fear your demons
down inside
once they know you're affraid
theyll really take you for a ride
Life at times is a great big
psych game
Oh sure the fear will continously
call your name
In your dreams you may go
down in flame
but at the end of the day your
fortitude should remain the same
Act as though the monster never came
Maybe make friends but do tame

Isn't it funny how when other people
try to scare us infact
we put on a brave act
Sometimes we maybe shaking
in our shoes
then go home feeling the blues
Even with a body bruise
ditto to the same old news
but we be thinking
I showed that fool
next time that will teach him to be cool
I'm never going down without a fight
even though I maybe weaker in might

Face up to your demon also
let that inner fool know
who really runs the show
and that if he don't help
he might have to go
Knowing he's going to stay
facing up will entice your day
Demons shouldn't be allowed
to just freely play
without some kind of say
even if you finally decay
Strongly demand his help or
demand him to get out the way

I do my best at standing up to
others and myself positively
Demons win when we go negative
using hate violence and other
negative traits
Guide the demon or he'll guide you
then no telling what awaits
or what dictates

This has a rap beat to it. I like it. You hit me with a body shot several times here. Powerfully penned from personal experience. Wow.

All we can do is our best. As long as that's our goal, there should be no 'fault-finding' from others. Grand advice.
