When the Demons Come

When the demons come knocking and break down the door, When you’re begging for mercy laid out on the floor, When they hollow your insides and destroy your soul, When it it seems that the end of your life is their goal, When they rob you you of friendships and leave you alone, When they show mistakes for which you cannot attone, When they circle your mind like vultures of prey, When they fill it with sadness, hurt and dismay. When they steal you of sleep like thieves in the night, When the day comes that you’re to weary to fight, When they leave you unwashed and rob you of pride, When you they leave you exposed with no places to hide, When they shroud you in darkness and fill you with pain, When their icy venom runs cold and hard through your veins, When the fear of tomorrow is too much to bear, When your body fills with terror and your lungs empty of air, When the demon is winning and your light has but gone, Now is just just darkness where a light brightly shone. Remember you’ve beat this, you’ve won this before, This demon that’s knocking, that’s come for it’s war, You’ve survived many battles and you carry the scars, Don’t give up now, you’ve come way too far. When the demons come knocking remember this rhyme, You have have won every battle, and you can beat them this time.
