My demon


I see it everyday

It haunts me in my dreams

It follows me everywhere I go

I could feel it watching my every move

 

I don’t understand

What have I done so wrong?

What have I said to deserve this?

Is anyone else haunted by this demon?

 

But it’s funny although this creature

haunts me so I feel warmth

I see countless rays of light

I hear the endless bliss of sweet

sounding music

 

All of a sudden that beast

torturing me deep within my soul

suddenly vanishes

I feel as though that weight that I have carried

for so long has finally been lifted

 

My steps feel as though im

walking on air

The thoughts in my head are no

longer clouded

I can clearly see the signs that

god has left for me to see

I am free now
