Black Dog

The demons attack
My mind, I try and
Shake them off, but
They hold on tight
I cry for freedom, let
Me go, but they don’t
My sword is not strong
Enough to kill them
And so I live, I survive
With the demons in my
Mind

  1. Nicely written lady… We all are in fight with our inner demons almost at all times in our lives. No one bothers to write about them. I am glad you did so sweetly 🙂

  2. These are such honest words Vonita! I can identify where you are my friend and I have been there myself in my past. I now realise that I was just trying too hard to change things and change myself instead of just being more accepting of where I am just now on my journey! And that is just fine. Be kind and gentle to yourself…so so important. None of us are perfect, we are human…with flaws and failings, and that’s ok too. A big virtual hug going your way this night. Take good care and hope the black dog settles a little and becomes docile. xx
