Allow me to rant, if you will,
just something i've been meaning to get off my chest,
and my shoulders come to think of it.
Meet my demons three, Self indulgence, Anger, and Deceit,
three plagues on my body, my soul, and my energies,
three sores that burrow under my skin, and tear me apart from within.
These demons come out to play at night,
the one time of day i require my thoughts most clear,
the one time of day i require my energies most, i hate them so.
They poke me and prod me when i feel most tranquil,
they infuriate me to lengths beyond my own comprehension,
they are rats, and i am alone, without a trap.
And i suffer endlessly, these demons three,
these filth infested bastards from a father unknown,
from an origin, unknown to me.
And worst of all these vile creatures turn,
on one another, on themselves, dragging me into the battle,
a battle i never wanted part in, a battle i wish to end.
I sit and i suffer, my demons three.
Author notes
The image has little to do with the poem, other than i thought it would work with the subject. I've been meaning to do something dark for a while. I found the image on google and would like to acredit the image author: Max Magnus Norman

The imagery and feel of this is awesome. You should extend on this more and make a story from it because you've done incredible.

Good solid piece here. Well said. We all are dual in nature...(dark/light, good/evil, neg/pos, whatever you chose to call it)you have identified your demons, it gives you mastery over them, unless you chose to wallow. My two cents worth, lol.

Demons of One
This speaks of the demons that we all share and try to hide......
Demons have many shapes and sizes and tend not to care if what we do is right or wrong...
Great Write....

Nicely done hun!
We all have our demons, this much is true. How we each handle them varies for us all. Some never even wish to handle their demons at all and thus refuse to accept them and just live on each day ignoring them, or rather they try to ignore them. This is one of those writes that can say much of the author as well as all others everywhere around the world.
Bravo hun!
