We all have our inner demons, dear Abhi and this poem indicates their dwelling place within us. But.... we also have our Angels and if we turn to them in our need, they will not let us down. During dark days we are inclined to forget that the spark is within us, the light which is blinding is our spirit, a spark of the divine and if we acknowledge it and allow it to come outside our body, the darkness is at one dismissed in the bright warm glow, our aura is cleansed and we are ready to step back into the human world again. The darkness is just a place where we haven't discovered the light yet, but it's there just waiting for us to invite it in. I love how you invite your reader to listen to the voice within and reason with it. It will guide us towards better things and lead us out of the darkness we have created and back into the light again. A finely penned narrative write. Great depiction, use of metaphor and well expressed feeling as well as excellent good advice. The only thing I would disagree with is that you have inner demons, Abhi!!! You have a very beautiful, warm, loving heart and an even more resplendent spirit within your body. Thank you for writing and for sharing, Abhi. With warmest wishes...

As you say, "The darkness is just a place where we haven't discovered the light yet" - true that! Couldn't agree more. And also, this is such a positive thought - "we also have our Angels and if we turn to them in our need, they will not let us down." This write is more of acknowledging that everyone has demons (not demonic or evil of sorts), but more of things like, fear, insecurities, failures, self-doubt and everything that holds us from progressing forward. Not a personal write, but a general write this was. I do feel, we all have power within ourself (angels) to overcome all the ills, breathe to live in positivity and light. All we need is to acknowledge where are demons are and then let go of it. Thanks much Marie for reading and leaving a review. Appreciate it.

Yes, acknowledging/owning our demons is the first step to getting rid of them, dear Abhi. It loosens the grip they have over us as in, addiction to alcohol/drugs, etc and they lose their power because once acknowledged, we know we have to do something to rid ourselves of them and so, we take the necessary steps to do so. I agree with everything you say, my dear friend. Thank you for writing and for sharing this wonderful poem which is filled with light and hope and a great love for humanity, dear Abhi... Wonderful poem, my dear friend...

Most welcome always, Abhi. Have a very lovely day and enjoy, dear friend...
It's sometimes quite an awakening when we discover that beast within us - if we have so far tried to ignore it. Quite an awakening poem here, Abhilash.
You can't escape from yourself, can you? You can't lie to yourself, believe how good you are, your past keeps haunting you.
"no matter how much we hide,
we all have a beast inside." hope we can all love that beast and forgive.
thank your for sharing

That's a nice perspective. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the review, appreciate it very!
This reminds me of Popeye the sailor man's famous words, "I ams what I am". So sure--we all have a combination of angels and devils within, and the best plan is to hold back the devils as much as possible while freeing the angels. Old age has helped me with that, which is how it is supposed to be, I guess.
no matter how much we hide,
we all have a beast inside.
don't you ever yield and quit,
listen, talk and reason with it.
Now those are some wise words.

Thank you Sam for those wonderful words. Glad to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm not sure we all have demons, but if a person does, it is wise to admit it and do something about it. "Dance with your demons"...I can't remember who said that, but it is true. Good write. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia for reading and sharing your thoughts on this write. Warm wishes, Abhi.
this poem reminds me so much of a story I teach to my lit students..."Child by Tiger" by THomas Wolfe...
That darkness in each of us...sometimes it stays dormant and sometimes it just explodes.
Nicely penned.
