Afraid of the future
afraid of all who look at me
minds weighed down by the past,
demons tardising around inside my head
give me a crick in the neck
forever looking at the floor.

Alone at the lake at night
see winters cold with every breath
casting away my demons
moon twinkles bright on the slow
ripples of my swim
mesmerizing, kinda relaxing I think

now clouds cover
can't see a thing
suddenly feel wrecked
tired and heavy
put my rod to the side of me
fumble for my hip flask
drink the last drop of whisky

empty; scared and distraught
wipe a tear from my cheek
start walking into the darkness
of the lake
slow and steady
then faster
casting away my demons.

Good write. Rugged and Elegant.
