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
