Demons & Dreams.




Set me free and let me run wild
Have me rush among beasts and birds
Jump off cliffs and dive deep into seas
This gives me pure joy, an ecstacy of sorts


It's a different living when you understand
That what's without can't hurt you like what's within
The maddening whispers that scratch below the surface
Reminding me of the personal hell that binds us
A legion that comes to life in full vigour when by my lonesome.


This creatures that have no faces nor names
How could I even express this terrors while I lack the words to describe them
I feel the whispers rising to a proper din...louder they scream!

My heart is pounding. I feel my chest about to burst.
Keep it together... I think to myself.
It's all in my head. Inhale. Exhale...
keep calm. Smile. And move on.






I'm greater than the demons within
These legions that serenade with songs of hopelessness and absolute demise.
A daily endeavor to tame these demons, Let them know their place.
Hopefully even use them to do my bidding...
But so chaotic they are ... Running amok and destroying everything I so carefully built.


These child hood monsters that I so diligently ignored.
Every time they visit, I shut my eyes,hide under the blanket and pray enthusiastically.
Hoping that the monster will pass me over and walk on by.
Childhood monsters that we should all grow out off...
It seems as I grew my monsters copulated and gave rise to these creatures
These hybrid demons that keep getting in the way of my dreams.


Keep calm. Keep it together. Inhale. Exhale. Smile. Master your demons.
