Demons

Liquid disaster

Our hearts are like little monsters
Inside us like permanent squatters
That's why our ribs are cages
Holding back the internal rages

You can't drown out the demons
There are so many reasons
One is they know how to swim
Leaping out at every whim

Help doesn't sit at the bottom of a bottle
Just a person that is cruel and awful
Quick to violence when he gets mad
Changing straight from good to bad

You keep flooring back the pint
Even though you know it's not right
Its clear to you the outcome that follows
Back here tomorrow to drown your sorrows.

I believe Alcohol is the cage that doesn't allow us to release are demons , only contain them. " That's why our ribs are cages ,Holding back the internal rages ." I love the imagery here , its like I can see demons reaching out from inside someone. My only question is this a personal piece ? Either way , well done

It is a little bit. Your head could be filled with emotion and you try to Drown it out with anger, but it never really helps and most of the time it makes it worse. Appreciate the review

*Welcome to "Pure Rhymes" Thanks for joining, great to have you...!*

A flooring slam, mate... Comparing our hearts to squatters... Utter brilliance in that alone... The rest follows in crude violence... Hope I know how to swim... Cause this threw me in the deep end...

Happy you thought of me to add. Love rhymes, looking forward to having a place I can read loads of peoples poems.

Thanks mate, sentences are easier when there wrote down. Words just pop into my head , from nowhere. Thanks silente.

Thank you for joining, a boon to have you...! Will be great to see where things go with the group...

The muse is forever ploinking stuffz into our heads... I know some old writers who would carry a notepad EVERYWHERE just to catch that "tidbit" of inspiration...

Yeah nowadays we have notes in our phones to jot down the words that come to us
