Facing Your Demons

A Poem by Marshal Gebbie

Facing Your Demons

by Marshal Gebbie

Look to the past to find your demons
Ghosts appear as memories loom,
Transgressions weave uneasy feelings
The horrors glide across the room.

Tissue scarred for wrongs committed
Hot, wet tears run down your face,
Embarrassed feelings bleed discomfort
Bad reflections have no grace.

A writhing in your nether regions
Bleak remorsefulness inside,
Feelings based on actions rendered
Face your demons, run and hide.

Overwhelming sinful actions
Drive you to a freezing place,
Confess your crimes to Catholic faction
Bare your shredded soul’s disgrace.

Many preach forgiveness - few practice it. Believing without the performance is beyond hypocrisy... its what drives people away and into confusion and hurt.
