The demons inside pull you closer To despair and depression Curling you up in a ball. Loving, caring and sharing are on hold While you fight for your life In the darkness. The bedroom is your den lined with Comforting duvets and pillows And the TV keeps you comatose I can�t go there to help you Because they won�t let me in With my sword and my senses. My rage and strong will are useless And can�t fight this shadow That haunts and destroys you. The salty air and ocean breeze Are just outside the door Waiting for your footprints on the beach. Can you come out and play?

A painfully sad write with a poignant, touching end. 'Can you come out and play?' The sand and surf await. The contrast between the world awaiting just outside and the darkness of the room within, is what makes this such a penetrating poem...one that will linger on.

All we can do when our loved ones are in this much pain, is to pray they will be able to overcome and pull away from the demons.
