Facing Inner Demons Poem by Christine A Kysely

Where do the Demons come from?
That reside in us from deep within
Where do their evil powers lie?
Were they always dwelling there
Or did I somehow invite them in?
Haunting you…Haunting me
Did I commit some Cardinal sin?

Will someone, somewhere someday
Help me to drive them out
To free me from their evil whims
To allow me to ever live without?

They are always, always there it seems
Pushing me to the verge of the ever after
And I struggle daily just to cling
To the rafters of myself
And what I’ve been
To hold on to the tangible
And not get swept away
Into the demon’s nothingness
Where I’ll cease to forever have been.
