Demon

I’ve got this demon 
Living in my head,
It makes me have horrid thoughts
Mainly wishing I was dead.
I hear these voices
Deep in my mind and soul,
I try to stop them
But fear I’m losing all control

I’ve tried to block it out
It’s taken up residence,
Full of fear
Losing self confidence.
It’s screaming louder 
My thoughts , no longer mine,
I tried my best to shut it down
I just ran out of time.

I’ve got this demon
Living in my head,
It’s makes me have these horrid thoughts
Mainly wishing I was dead.
I hear these voices
Deep in my mind and soul,
I tried to stop them
But now I’ve lost control….

Elegantly put how dealing with trauma goes! Healing doesn't mean the pain never existed. It means the damage doesn't control our lives.

You might want to have Ozzy perform an exorcism. I understand he's Catholic. Seriously though, many have these persistent thoughts of self destruction. I hope this poem is just fiction. Life has many possibilities

Trauma is a heavy burden. Climbing back up from the depths is hard but we keep going…
