My Demons

I'm without care, but not carefree Something dark has taken hold of me I want them close, but to leave me be My demons just might be my ecstasy

I love the ambiguity and layers in this one, and I can so relate ... beautiful structure and deep emotion. I thoroughly enjoyed this gem, my friend! Blessings! :-) <3

a very interesting poem that can be taken different ways if you are speaking metaphorically. Well done.

Great contrasting lines "without care/carefree" and "close/leave me be" such an apt description of struggling with our demons! Well done - from one Michelle to another-
