Fighting the demons within are hard wrote this to get rid of the bad thoughts going around in my head i am strong and I belong peace to all
HELP me I'm struggling today
These thoughts won't go away
Help me I feel so sad
Am I really that bad a dad
Angry at the slightist of things
Losing it when that bell rings
The bell that just can't be heard
So cranky it's really absurd
Help me I feel I have failed
Yet again my judgement is impaled
Help me get back on the road
I dont like this when I explode
Scary to the ones that I love
Here the calling of the white dove
Go away dove it's not my time
Leave me be and I'll be just fine
Venom of a deadly snake does alight
My family are the ones I do fright
I must now attempt to put it right
Stay awake late into the night
Force all these thoughts away
Live once more to fight the day
It came this time out of the blue
I really don't know what to do
Fight or flight is what I have learnt
Alas either way I will be burnt
Locked away to drown my sorrow
I need to find that tomorrow
But tomorrow is the thing that never arrives
Regret and sadness is what appears
Tears flow from these tired eyes
Not wanting to say goodbyes
The demon within is strong this time
Pulling hard on the twine
I'm using every ounce of strength I have left
But he knows I'm so bereft
If I go then he has won again
Taken another of mortal plain
But I'm not ready for an epilogue
I'm the Prince dressed as the frog
The love I get from my family
Give me strength and clarity
He is strong but I remain still
Win this battle yes I will
