Eclipse of the Mind

When the day fades to night my demons come out to play I know they're trying to kill me Even when I’m wide awake Every time I close my eyes The dead appears in my dreams How can I escape this darkness When daylight reflects tragedy Time after time I fight these battles Mentally fatigued and all alone Desperately and impatiently waiting For my Angels to take me home My heart aches for the love once felt Before my soul they came to take I’m tired of being this shell of myself My mind full of negativity and hate My health has now turned against me Only further pushing me down I feel like I’m stranded in a ocean While my only option left is to drown But the fighter in me will never give up No matter how much darker it becomes The demons may think the war is over But my determination says it’s just begun Darrin Shawn Rodgers 05/16/2021
