Inner Demons

 

Sitting in the dark

Listening for the sounds

Waiting for something to arise

But nothing comes around

Looking for answer

Searching for a clue

It must be getting close

It’s something inside of you

Fighting from within

Tearing you apart

Ripping at your flesh

With every beat of your heart

Your body is in trembles

Your mind is in fear

You’ve nearly lost control

You’re barely even here

Help must come soon

Before you make that last fall

Help must come soon

It's only one call

good form and rhythm, good choice of words. This is a good piece

[mysticgmekeepr]

there is a lot of palpable pain here but it is a really well done poem...tight, and honest from beginning to end. You are able here to reach out and grab the reader and force them for just a moment, to share in your hopelessness....partly because its such a universal feeling that most of us have known at one time or another, but also because you wrote a well crafted poem about it.

I immediately replaced the word "you" with "me".......I know these demons well......Many moons of addiction and depression feed the memory....fan the flame.......Thank God for sobriety and inner peace.....I dig the message and courageous "pandoras box" statement. It made me think deeply as I read......Well done my friend.....

Peace,

Bill :-)

I like the way you captured the distress and anxiety...
A beautiful composition!

Wow I liked this one and I like your imagery in this poem.
