Best Inner Demons Poems

Locked within the confines of my mind’s dark cell,
Both convict and captor, a self made hell.
Each thought a shackle, every memory a bar,
Confined by my own mind, a prisoner of psychological scars.

In this self-imposed exile, I am utterly alone,
A solitary figure locked in a world of dark, cold stone.
Forsaken by hope, abandoned by light,
I dwell...

In the depths of one's mind, foes reside.
Within oneself—a war cannot be denied.
Refers to individuals—their internal strife,
Struggles and spurs that shape their life.

In the realm of views and desires so deep,
Fear and doubt bestir—akin to demon creep.
Inner blows waged in the darkest nights.
People tilt with doubts—their inner fights.

Self-fuss, the first foe fated...

Walls closing in on the darkness that surrounds the very edges of my thoughts as I force a fake smile to appear along my face with eyes clouded insecurely holding my innermost pain… Buried down deeply in the deepest forgotten center of my aging body lies the innocence that was unwillfully stolen and damaged… The...

Inner demons tear me apart
Night and day
Today, tomorrow and in the days to come perhaps.
Relentless torment of the soul
Obliterating rational thought
Seeking to show the meanderings and 
Peccadilloes of fickle fate
Ennervating desire and drive
Cleverly rationalized by reason 
Towards  a life  of constant strife
Inching steadily to depression
Ornate with self-pity and regret
Notwithstanding the little altruistic acts.

Simply calling me crazy
Would be nothing short of ignorant
And so much more than lazy
‘Cause it’s deeper than that
When my demons aren’t freely 
Beating up or running up 
A costly fee on my mind
They’ve got a special place to sleep in the back
And just when I think I’ve out-thought them
They repeatedly prove
That it was me I...

angst
intese anger
   such a wimp
    been played 
betrayed
       nothing but a shoulder              
              to cry on.

She puts on a brave face
and prepares to wage the battle
she has every day
It's not her fault,
she didn't start this war
But, she'll be damned
if she gives up
She's a fighter
and holds on tooth and nail
But, will her true self ,
or the evil triumph?
At times,  
the storms rage inside her,
as she reaches out for an anchor...

Inner Demons 

I stumble in the darkness.
my hands flung wide in mindless panic.
I grasp for something, anything,
but find only empty space and I begin to fall.

I crash against the floor and pain
sears through my weakened body
I cry out in fear, and anguish,
terrified amidst this eternal night.

I lie in the blackness
and hear voices around me,
soft insistent,...

Have you ever had thoughts that scare even you?
Have you ever had days when you feel extra blue?
Can you understand how I could feel this way?
Even though I have love now will it stay?
Can the dream filled nights and happy mornings
Continue this way without becoming boring?
My inner demons are my own worst enemy
And it keeps...

It is hard to see past the tragedy of lost time
When at once you realize its chains have rusted
Away. Where moving on feels more like a crime
Of passion. As if your heart cannot be trusted.

Upon the mid summers day, where happiness you flaunt,
My gaze remains frozen upon the evergreens
Spanning miles; reaching heights myself they haunt...

The howling wind is blowing through the trees.
Reminding me of battles that dropped me to my knees.
Physical pain is endless.No hope for a cure.
My health is failing.Its more ed up than before.
Medication has done more damage than good.
Poisoning my organs,instead of healing them like it should.
I'm so angry! What is the point of my pain?
My...

If only you could see,
The things that roam inside.
They wander and creep from one corner to another.  
They want to introduce themselves to you,
But get stopped at the gate. 
Mouth wide open,
But unable to pass. 
Mind crowded,
Trying to escape. 
But out comes nothing. 
The chaos in my head,
The rawness of my wrists,
The dryness of...

Rising up just to see you fall into the abyss
The bleeding seems to worsen, the same wound
There is no vaccine for a disease like this
The heart has been gagged and to the floor, bound

The bleeding seems to worsen, the same wound
It’s a heavy sound the heart makes, hitting the floor
The heart has been gagged and...

Neurosis imposes osteoporosis through Ouroboros like locusts
Focus is broken so just blitz like Germans in Poland
Anxiety lies to me and starts fighting me in 451 degrees
Mind exploding like Boeing 747 Max's with 157 casualties
Survival is a trial to lift my kind

Wallpaper's yellow, might be more mellow if you play the cello
Dog's not yellow, might go...
