He’s At War With His Demons

Battles on a daily basis

He dreams in technicolor, vivid and real As he chases his demons every night, Awake and asleep, he tries to slay them Not giving in to their terror and fright.

During the daylight hours, he hides Keeping a tight rein on their antics, While waiting for his dreamscape Spending his days upset and frantic.

His demons are out of control lately He struggles daily to find any hope, Nightly he wears himself out in combat Day after day, he struggles to cope.

Something needs to give, he knows As he ruins another loving relationship, Regret, lost hope, and deep despair Slay his demons or tame his ego trip.

Maybe tonight will be the night he wins As he enters his dreamscape prepared, He battles, he struggles, he is at war Knowing the damage cannot be repaired.

It’s not all a total loss, as he has a plan To replace those that he pushed away, He has a lineup of future possibilities They’ll fail too if his demons aren’t slain.

I watch as he sacrifices yet another love Allowing his demons to fight at all cost, It’s heartbreaking to watch him again fall When he’s already grieving for all he’s lost.

Thanks for reading!
