Inner Demons Poems - Poems about Inner Demons

I hate feeling this emptiness, though not as much as when I have this living being by my side, It may not fill all that emptiness, but at least it makes it less visible. Perhaps I can't express my emotions as the 'current society' expects, Although I know they will never come out, trapped by being just another...

I found the monster in the mirror, fleshed stitched with the fear of guilt, a puppet bound by veins. With whispers of rot beneath each breath. I fed it well, fed it lies, fed it fear, greased its tongue with my own deceit. Till the shadows spoke in cadence with my voice and I knew...

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...

Written: September 2nd, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ 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...

Hair the color of saffron undulating slowly capturing the sunlight entangling pearls in her curls mesmerizing Surrounded by life bursting around her some billowing with the ebb and flow in time with her glorious hair some moving through the water at their own pace she smiles, face upturned reveling in the sun that filters down to her She loves her...

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...

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...

You a ferrous metal and I a magnet Drawn to you by design, Yet sin degrades all With it’s terror and it’s squall. On my worst days When I listen to the liar Saying “It’s okay its natural Like breathing Or seething.” Desires denied Sorrows multiplied. I shower and feel the skin come off Everytime hoping the next layer Will be thicker and less porous Keeping out the...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

U I've had dreams before, But life had something instore. I failed in a lot of ways Had to cry for many days. Success was a myth I could never be with. Am I still the same me? That same person I see When I look in the mirror, With that look of horror Etched in those brown eyes. How time really flies One would wonder. Each failure...
