The battle within

in #hive-1614654 days ago

I've got all my demons
Hiding underneath,
No one can see them,
No one but me.

And my reason,
Genuine and true,
I tried to stay spotless,
But my thoughts paint it blue.

Changing them is useless,
They're ruthless, unkind,
They never bargain,
They poison my mind.

I know I don’t want to let go,
Just like before,
But am I so certain
I can bear them once more?

I see them around me,
A lingering haze,
A constant distraction,
A never-ending maze.

I tried to conceal them,
Yet they break through,
Emerging from corners
Where shadows accrue.

It intrigues me,
Yet it frustrates them,
My demons whisper
While others condemn.

I see how we battle,
Each in our way,
Some find their solace,
Yet it shifts day by day.

Mine is in chaos,
An upside-down fate,
But change is a promise,
A matter of wait.
