Demons Never Leave

A seemingly non stop battle

A constant tomentor

For years it plagued me

...it almost cost me my life

I thought it defeated

I believed my moster vanquished

...until it rose again

The calling, the need, the desire

...it whispers to me

serenading me with promises of help when I am at my weakest

...make it stop...

please

Many of us have demons hiding within us. Silently waiting to strike when we are vulnerable. Keeping them in their place is the hardest thing. I share and understand your difficulty.
