Screaming Demons


Screaming demons, begging their freedom
lost somewhere inside my head
waiting until the hours of darkness
when once my sleep held rest.

But now the demons scream out their madness
leaving nowhere that I can hide
lost in the darkness, nothing to hold onto
listening for all I denied.

Pictures of moments trapped in a lost land
beckoning a return to my past
leaving the new day and the sunlight so warming
left wanting… for nothing will last.

Now each day at sunset when darkness is calling
I cry out for all that will be…
a night-time of madness when demons start screaming
somewhere… inside of me!
