Your Demons

I see you struggling
With demons in your mind
And demons in your soul
You want to be free
Want to love and be loved
And she came into your life
Her heart encompassed you
It enveloped you with her passion
She kept you safe from yourself
For awhile……
And then the demons came
Into your mind and into your soul
They were oh so powerful
You could not fight them
They consumed you fully
But you saw the dazzling light
Shining for you, surrounding you
Pulling you from the darkness
Fighting to free your mind
She was beauty and love
A wondrous spirit pulling you up
To break the demons from your mind
And the demons from your soul
She will be forever until eternity
Waiting with love to help you
Break free of the demons in your mind 
And the demons in your soul
Reach out when you’re struggling
And she will always come
To free you from the demons in your mind
And the demons in your soul
She is strength, love and serenity
A spirit of peace and calmness
A warm summer breeze
Trees dancing in the wind
Surrounding you with radiant tranquility
She will always come
To free you from the demons in your mind
And the demons in your soul
She will always come…….

Sakshi Singh December 15, 2019 at 8:24 AM Nice theme , so nicely written & I can relate with this poem but I wonder why she leaves me? Why can't she always be with me? I don't want to face demons anymore. Ingrid Lehman December 15, 2019 at 1:55 PM Dear Sakshi, sometimes the ones closest to the addict can’t cope anymore, the addiction is so powerful. But will always be ready and willing to support and help in any way possible. Hugs, Ingrid
