And Then It Stopped

I was at a loss Unable to fight my demons Powerful and angry They lashed out at me As if they knew that since I am made not of sorcery They would vanquish me easily! The torture lasted for years I tried to fight back But could not I was too weak I could only stand still And let the demons Do as they willed! I thought of myself as cursed After all, demons approach not The shadows of angels Demons only strike the fallen To cause them to have lost souls Souls swirling and twirling In the sea of madness The sea captivating us with its beauty But made of waves capable of sinking us Why, I thought it would go on And stay as long as I lived So much that I even confined myself Into the refuge of my own company But then, All of a sudden It stopped And I realized That all this time I had been blind I was naught but a moth A moth captivated by the mystical light A moth saved by the same light A moth made of addiction Craving for more and more Of whatever the power of the light Would deem best to bestow upon me! Yes, it is over It has stopped! 1st July 2017
