Inspired by recent poetry I've read, I decided to post this one I wrote for a
contest in high school. Apparently it's published somewhere, though I can't find
the book as of yet. Anyhow . . .
The Demons Within
Dazed and confused
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The only safe house, to me has been denied
I have no other option but to draw my sword
And face the demons within
Their forms are grotesque, their tales deceiving
Their powers incredible
And I have no one to rescue me
From myself
The demons advance, claws and fangs glistening
I cannot fight them
For they are a part of me
I sheath my weapon; purposely let my guard down
The demons circle me, their darkness all around
My vision starts to blur, then begins to fade
I resign myself to thinking I've lived the last of my days
A spark appears
Growing as it dances through the air
The spark takes human shape
Driving away the darkness with its light
That form is you, my rescuer, and my friend through everything
When you're by my side, I'm not afraid
Of demons within.
Hey not Bad for a Graverobber,lol anyway i see alot of potential in you and i
think u might become a great poet on MT,anyway i want to hear another one so
keep up the good job.
Man Dale... you were so EMO in high school lol. I kid, I wrote dark stuff too
when I was younger. Remember pool tomorrow after Project Managment (still
haven't done my English loL).
Wow you are a really great poet.I really like it because I can relate to it.
High School isnt always easy and niether is life and I think to some extent
everybody has some form of inner demons they fight.I think its great that you
have a friend that keeps you on track.Anyways enough babbling.love the poem!
