Battling The Demons Of Everyday Poem by Sebastian Melmoth

Anxiety like Genghis Khan charging into battle for my soul
The physical and mental toll this fight will take

Depression like Dracula sucking away my emotional blood
Pulsating and constant feeding on my feelings

Worry like Rasputin steering me straight into the chaos
Powerless to stop the inevitable crash

Anger like Jack the Ripper on an uncontrollable rampage
Wishing for a miracle for this mystery to be solved

Pain like Lenin controlling and dominant
It's time to break free of this mental hell dictatorship

Moods like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde interchangeable and uncontrolled
What will be my medicine to tame the beast?

Traumatic and daunting like in the care of Dr Frankenstein himself
Taking the medication hoping he will say ‘it's alive, it's alive'

The characters that hauntingly roam the body and mind
Yearning to keep them locked away in the playhouse of our heads

Battling the demons of everyday
A battle we must win to feel the peace and be whole in every way.
