there are recesses in my mind
where demons lurk.
they connive to make me doubt,
cry, rage, envy,
whatever it takes to undo me.
monsters gather in the gloom,
feed me messages
I hear them,
sense their claws
tearing at my mind,
random actions, convulsive reactions
turmoil a fact of life
outrageous behaviours that
wound and injure.
and from their murky depths
howls of delight emanate
through my soul
and leave me wretched.
there are recesses in my mind
where demons lurk
untouched by nature
watching, gleefully
as I fail again.

Thank you MsBA, lovely comment as always, appreciate your kind words.

Thanks Cubby, its lovely to see you reading my work and giving me such positive comments.Thank you again.
When things are down – the mind has a terrible way of letting those montsers loose.
And – if suffering from depression – there’s no telling when those monsters will show their ugly faces.
You captured these monsters so well. Now if we can only find a way to get rid of them for good…
Happy Friday – Happy Weekend 🙂
Thanks RoSy, yes you are right capturing them and ridding ourselves of them is a life times work. You have a good weekend too. Or as we say – avagoodweekend.
