Shadow Demons

Shadows

of my past

haunt me

they stand 

against the walls

never fading away

they are watching

listening, mocking

every word I say

I am scared now

they're following me

everywhere I go

my mind, heart and soul

are captured by their presence

allowing them to take over

once close enough

they take hold

draining my body

I have no energy left

no motivation, no life

soon to succumb to their will

I am losing the fight

as the end is near

I plead for help

suddenly a light

shines from within 

and I smile

pushing away

the bad memories

of what I left behind

deep down in my heart

I was able to revive

the power in my soul

as it takes control

clearing my mind

and erasing the demons

the shadows from hell.
