My Demons

by Kia   Mar 29, 2005


A shadow moves across the room
Hiding my body from the light
Slowly sneaking up behind me
And grabbing me in the night

My demons have come back
To tempt me once again
To try to bring me down
They want me to give in

They want me to lose control
To stop holding and lose my grip
They want me to join them
It will only take on more slip

Moving quietly through my room
They surround me and taunt me
Telling me that I am nothing
That i am weak don't you see

Sometimes I just give it up
And let them take over and win
I don't try to fight them
They've already gotten under my skin

Tonight my demons have returned
And tonight my demons have won
They took away my heart and soul
And made me think my life was done.

    Hi kia

    Firstly, thanks for the comment on my poem.
    I have to say i really like this poem and don't agree with robert (above). I think the demons you describe are meant to be an enigma, to the reader and perhaps to the writer also. The reader can interpret the demons using their own experience, hence the poem becomes a shared psychological experience.
    Personally, I prefer poems that allow me to imagine rather than have everything spelt out for me!!

    This was a good poem but leaved way too much to the imagination some people like to read things like this , however if I take the time to read another poet that poet better tell me everything for my time. It was good description but still left too much for for the imagination...

    I think the "on" is meant to be "one." Why not make a happy ending for this story? hehe, i'm not much into sad endings. But i guess that's the point. The poem was interesting, keep writing.
