I Am My Own Exorcist Poem by Ahmed Abdalla

I Am My Own Exorcist

Rating: 4.8


Voices and noises
Of demons screaming
Howls and growls
Doesn’t feel like I’m dreaming

I look in the mirror
A disturbed image I see
I step back in shock
An alien thought: Just let it be

Give in, Give in
Those voices command
Don’t, my conscience says
But it really is out of hand

Persons inside a person
That’s what I’ve become
A life built on a lie
But my salvation is yet to come

I look around and see
A version of the world in black
But no, I will fight
I’m slowly getting back on track

Push, push
They’re not so strong
I will be victorious
I will win before long

Now I stand tall
Now my demons are dismissed
And from now on
I am my own exorcist

I love the way you formulate your lines. THe message you share in this poem is a universal truth. We are the only to be our own exorcist to free ourselves from that which binds us to darkness. The struggle involves determination and courage, these two things that your poem has well demonstrated. The last verse affirms the joyful victory of freedom! Keep on writing. I do appreciate your poems.
