Demons of the Mind

Ever been in a scenario where all seems lost. Well my friend they are caused by non existent demons our minds create, The challenge is only to destroy them.

Demons of The Mind!

Looking at the bright blue sky I feel

Life is a rather leech like ordeal

When was it, my fate God sealed?

With whom did he make this rather strange deal?

With the burden of sorrow, rather low I kneel.

Looking at these roads which never end

It's a glee whenever they offer an unexpected bend

The distance always grows by furlongs, my friend

On these streets, rolling was I sent

My fate, it is I often seek to mend.

Among the clouds, shapes I often trace,

At night, among the constellations, rather like my face

Lost am I, in the world's wide maze

The frown,I find, even in my shoe lace

Why? Oh! Why? Do I feel the daze?

Your highness, up there, do you ever see down?

Do you ever think about the people, in misery, drowned?

Alone in a corner these folks are found

An unexpected joy for me, when friends surround

Yet, so often, I remain buried under the ground.

Craziness, of life, the things it makes you say,

Things surprising, It can never happen in the dream of day

Dilemma astounds, left to right the mind sways,

The murky past and the invisible future,all so gray,

These demons of the mind however my friend,

Are always born to be slayed.

Poignant write , life is full of ups and downs attitude important. Lovely picture of the night sky.

Many kind of demons. Some are always ready to take control. Good description allowed reader to fall into the story in the poem. I did like the strong ending to the excellent poem.

Amazing write. Hopeful yet not in your face hopeful. It's sad but not too sad. I make sense but not too much sense. I love the last two lines "These demons of the mind however my friend/ Are always born to be slayed." Beautiful conclusion to another beautiful piece :D I kind of feel like your saying that, sure, there's going to be a lot of trials and trouble but that those hardships were meant to be overcome. I really really really really really like this one :)

"Life is a rather leech like ordeal" was my favorite line from your poem, because i agreed with it :) Life is in fact very leach like and drains you dry. Excellent write!

Thank you Rachel! Only at times is it like that, you know that's the point, once the demons are slayed, life may just seem different you know! Inspirational if I toe the line!
