Miss My Demons!!

''I made it'', I thought
Through hell and back
Past the searing heat of molten streams,
Past the cries of damned
And the wails of pain

I swam through a river of fire.
Trudged through the valley of sorrow.
Waded past the swamp of suffering.
Climbed over the mountain of pain.

Scalded, seared, broke and hurt.
Wounded and pained, I limped through the dark
And there I saw the light,
I broke through and felt the light.

''I made it'' I thought,
''Endured my demons and triumphed''
I thought and
Felt peace sweep through me

There I stand basking in the light.
The pain recedes.
The bonds fall off my mind.
Faced my demons and victorious I stand.

But as the euphoria passes
I feel an emptiness.
In that instance with a pang I realise,
I miss my demons!

A good one for a first .I loved the emotions ,the mini story and a small facet of our lives which,most of us who have been through tough times know well.missing our demons.I also loved the fact that uve kept the poem simple and yet contains so much meaning.
Do write more ; )

nice write! we tend to miss the things we grown accustom too. it's seems like we know no other way but hell. or we are just masochist.

Welcome to Hell... Lol. Now to get serious... Its an awesome poem. I enjoyed reading it. As for a persons demons... Well, they always win, even when they don't. You beat em, and then they come back with a new mask, lookin for trouble. Fightin your demons is like a dance, that lasts till you live. Sometimes you beat em, sometimes you don't. Thats part of life i guess. Keep writing, you have great skills. :)
