Demons of Old
by
Deena
The World of the Past
The World that I feared
The Demons of old
They’re no longer here!
Their torment is behind me
I’ve laid them all to rest
I thought that they knew me better
But it’s ME that does know best!
They thought they could break me
Oh, how hard they tried.
From fear, pain, and hopelessness
Most every night I cried!
They challenged my defenses
And haunted all my nights
The misery was endless
I grew weary of the fight!
But way down deep inside of me
Was a part they could not shake
And finally, after 50 years,
My true self is awake!
The Demons now are silent
Their power is deceased.
I took command of my own life.
There’s only ME to please!
