Troubled

My demons scream

Tugging, yanking, pulling at the thread of my sanity

They bait, lure me

Tell me it’s all going to be ok

Sinister

Their words ring through my ears like a sweet beautiful melody

But yet I resist

Insist I’ll be ok

I continue, with my head held high

Proud, confident, mighty

But my demons are loud

They tell me I can’t accomplish it

They say I can’t survive

That I”m broken, battered, and scarred

Liars and fools

This isn’t news

I am strong, resilient, determined

I am prosperous

I am at peace

I have no need for you

My demon

No love. No care. No tears. No despair

My life, full of beauty and wonder

Full of life, abundant and blessed

But yet I still stress

My heart is torn, broken.

My thoughts are mumbled, jumbled, confusing, and arrayed.

I dream of what used to be

Now, I only see what is

My demon disillusioned with life

I could have lived

A life that I so desperately longed for

All around me it soon then crumbles

Was it me? My fault

How could it be

I fall. I fail

I crash. I stumble

Yet, I rise and continue

My life, it’s beautiful

But my mind is troubled
