Evil in the shadows

By Petra

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

There's a ringing in my ears, the obnoxious colors sting my eyes.  Daytime is my sanctuary, the night is my battle.  The demons lurking in the shadows try to tempt me with their sweet words.  But they're poisonous their path is destructive, their lies will destroy me if I step onto that rocky path.  The result will be death so I will fight with my last breath.  There will be pain, but there will be safety for me after the war.This poem is very personal. It's about the struggle within my head and heart. How do you get past writers block? Written January 12th, 2002 © on Jan 12 2002 07:29 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
