Confronting Their Demons Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Confronting their worst fears
Confronting their addictions
Confronting their detractors
Confronting their abusers
Taking responsibility for their actions
Admitting their faults
No longer running away from their own shadows
Confronting their demons.

The devil has held many in bondage
The devil has imprisoned many souls
Demons have tortured many for years
Many addicted to alcohol
Many addicted to drugs
Many addicted to pornography
Many addicted to sex
A time comes when they've had enough
They then confront their demons.

Many have stayed in abusive relationships
Many have held on to unworkable relationships
Many have lost themselves in the process
The unlucky lost their lives
Others lost their self worth
They lost their self esteem
They lost their self respect
The lucky and determined find a way out
They decide that enough is enough
They confront their demons.
