Uninvited Visitors

The demons of my mind come and visit me every night - taking satisfaction in the pain they bring my way Though I lay in seek - of a peaceful evening’s sleep They choose my worries as a playground on which to play With howls and screams which pierce through my dreams - they often wake me from my evening’s rest Racing through my mind - feeding on every fear that they find - putting my faith in almighty god to ridged test I struggle through the night- in wait of morning light -as the onslaught of their taunting’s take a toll Bringing dread to my life- that tomorrow I’ll find strife - and every obstacle I face will crush my soul

Hahahahaha. It does seem the “monsters” of the night appear far larger in the dark than they do in the light of day. Just a fun little creative write that I wanted to share with those who can relate. Have a great day ! Darrell
