Uninvited Visitors

The demons of my mind come and visit me every night - taking satisfaction in the pain they bring my way  

Though I lay in seek - of a peaceful evening’s sleep  
They choose my worries as a playground on which to play

With howls and screams which pierce through my dreams - they often wake me from my evening’s rest

Racing through my mind - feeding on every fear that they find -  putting my faith in almighty god to ridged test 


I struggle through the night- in wait of morning light -as the onslaught of their taunting’s take a toll 

 Bringing dread to my life- that tomorrow I’ll find strife - and every obstacle I face will crush my soul

Hahahahaha. It does seem the “monsters” of the night appear far larger in the dark than they do in the light of day. Just a fun little creative write that I wanted to share with those who can relate. Have a great day ! Darrell
