The Demon I have Become

About winning whatever war that's raging inside of us.

The Demon I Have Become

Once upon a time I would gaze up at the zodiac

And ask the constellations for the directions that I lack

Of this world I only saw the colors white and black

But at long last that time has faded into the past

That dark age has come to pass

For I have traversed the stormy sea raging inside of me

And have vanquished the sea serpents of the deep

Today I let the golden light of the shining sun

Wash away the demon I have become

For oh so long I have fought the beast below

It was a war that I always waged all on my won

Burning boulevards and haunted graveyards

Have inflicted immortal scars upon my heart

But today I shall march on

For I have traversed the stormy sea raging inside of me

And have vanquished the sea serpents of the deep

Today I let the golden light of the shining sun

Wash away the demon I have become

Today I leave behind the realm of silhouettes

And I will finally reach the fields of amaranth

I shall carry on

For I have traversed the stormy sea raging inside of me

And have vanquished the sea serpents of the deep

Today I let the golden light of the shining sun

Wash away this demon I have become

I see your writing moves the young girls on this site. Are all of your writes set to music or do you write poems too. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

I do write plain poems too, but most of the time my writing is set to music :)

Wow, I really like this. By the time I got to the end, I was singing it to myself rather than just reading it. Excellent !

[DoormanDan]

I am really glad you liked it! :)

[Amber Lily]

Oh my god... I love this. So many times in life its so tempting to just let the beast win. To give up and become pure hatred. But you will never feel more strong than when you fight and win to stay who you are.
A great life lesson :)

Thanks, I wrote this because i recently overcame depression that nobody knew about. I want this to let people know that it is possible to overcome. :)
