My Demons

Contributed by Evening_Star on Tuesday, 27th September 2005 @ 03:45:20 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Demons they haunt me
They drag me down
Constantly I keep looking around
I know they are there lurking in the shadows
I can feel their yellow eyes searing deep into my soul
Glaring at me when I am not looking

I constantly fight them down
I know that I am stronger than them
One day I will be free of them
They will no longer haunt me

I know that my demons are all trapped inside
My own twisted, tortured mind
I am not who I appear to be

I hear voices talking to me
There words are faint and hard to understand
I hear them. The voices are mine
I can't escape them
Emotions that have been buried
Come alive
They stir deep inside me
I just want to run away

I start to run
Faster and Faster
They are behind me
I turn my head
I can see them chasing me
Faster and faster I try to run
They are gaining on me
I feel my heart pounding
Deep inside my chest

Afraid
Its time to stop running
I stop and turn
To face the demons that haunt me
Not yet strong enough to fight them
They overcome me
They beat me down
Defeated I hang my head
Silently the tears begin to fall
They roll down my face and
Wet my cheeks
Aloud I yell
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

This is good. I can see your point clearly and apply these words to other areas of my life as well.

Nice. I got a sense of release from a much pent up anger . Sad but true any sort of abuse is never forgotten really is it ?

It's always nice to read a poem that hitsa bit closer to home then all of those love poems, and this one did just that. Thank you.

"just leave me alone" this speaks to me. it makes your poem final. If only every demon could be vanquished this way.

exquisite writing that is your gift, be blessed, for you are perfection.
