 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

The Demons are calling


Night-time again and my demons are calling
in the darkness they whisper my name
filling my head with thoughts that could damn me
driving me slowly insane.
I try to discard the thoughts that they tell me
for I know that the thoughts are not mine
I battle them nightly but sometimes to spite me
the thoughts are the sweetest of wines.
I once prayed for forgiveness into the darkness
pleading to be free from all sin
but only laughter and ridicule echoed back through the darkness
I'll have to fight for my sanity… to win.

For those of you that suffer dark thoughts...
just because you think them, does not mean you have to become them!
