Waiting 4 my Demons

My room is my sanctuary
I'm scared to go outside
Outside these walls
Lies crime and hatred
But inside I'm serene
I fear my mind
The thoughts inside
How easy it could be
But in my room
I can hide from my mind
Swallow my quiet hellhole
For a while
But I can't hide forever
Soon my demons will come
Eat my flesh
And expose my mind
Fearing for my life
My sanity's been gone too long
To ever be recovered
So here I sit
In my room, my sanctuary
Waiting for my demons.


 Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman

Not sure what to say to this one dear. It is so disturbing and deep. Certainly makes me 'feel'.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

  I feel this way too.  That is, I understand your words and the way they seem to feel to me...Probably something way different from how you felt when you wrote it..    Good poem.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing

Such strong imagery, it's really cool.

 May the light of day always shine during the darkest of nights.
