...me & my inner demon...


Poem Artwork

Has laid dormant for many years,
Creating within so many fears,
So many years I’ve lived without sin,
So many years I’ve not done,
So many years I’ve hidden from the sun…

Like a vampire I have in the dark crept,
Of the monster inside I have wept,
Held back the pain, I’ve kept,
He is hidden in layers of guilt,
Over him I have of past dust swept…

His cries to be set free, my agony,
I live in throes of anxiety,
I cannot allow his, from me, exit,
Against his power over me I am desperate,
In the distant past he has brought to me notoriety,
But of him I must maintain my sobriety…

Demons haunt the edges of our being
Damage done we are seeing
Let them go or wrestle with them
It matters not in the end.........

I think the sooner you let it out, the better off you'll be. Demons don't go away unless they are exposed to the light of day. And then they evaporate quickly when we see them for what they really are… Just fear.

So many of us have demons we must keep where they belong.........in the past. Perhaps you need to go confer with a professional concerning this matter. I'm pulling for you!

Love ya!
