Poem -
Dark Demons
Demons feeding the Darkness,
they dine off the a la carte.
Demons living the darkness
residing deep in her heart
There’s space for the monsters to grow
as the nothingness makes her a void.
From the outside there’s nothing to see
yet within all is slowly destroyed
Depressions a car crash..no air bag,
akin to guerrilla warfare.
Attacks when you least would expect it
leaving just silent despair
Demons so dark, deep ,aphotic
prevent any light shining through.
She know that each day is a battle
and she fights it again all anew.

I know you have experience waching your Mother battle this ...you capture the emotion so well Lodi...an excellent read
Thanks so much Steviec..that black demon dog is a terrible thing for anyone to have to battle with and having seen my Mother fight this for most of her life my heart goes out to all those suffering xx
Hi Lodigiana....I think most of us, metaphorically, fight our daily demons..However, this is much more serious and real. I suffered demonic attacks in my sleep while I was pregnant with my youngest daughter....I don't know if hormones brought it on, but I had pretty detailed attacks by a black gooey demon who choked me and tried to drown me over and over again in my sleep. It was pretty scary and a time in my life I don't understand. It was so vivid and long lasting. I am thankful that it was over 11 years ago now but it still haunts me. This poem made me recall that dark time. Great work. xo ;)
Oh darling what a terrible time that must have been.. but almost certainly it was caused by the changes in your body and when it happens it must be so disturbing and I can understand why it affected you so much.. Our bodies are wondrous things which we think we know and understand but in reality we can always be surprised..Thankfully all is well now for you and I am truly pleased about that,,yes a dark dark time...but you are now in the light my lovely.. and can leave it behind you. Great big hugs Cherie and sleep peacefully now angels watch over you I am sure. xxx.
