A Guiding Light Poem by Dorsey Baker

The demon
of bitterness
follows you around
like a two headed snake
trying to bite you
infest you with its poison
drive away
your good
common sense
put you under
a spell of confusion
its messing with
your balance
and you find
its hard to stand
on your own two feet
it affects your senses
making it difficult
to determine
if what you witness
is reality
or totally an illusion
but the truth
is the light!
and it will never
leave you
all alone in the dark!
