Panic is rising
Rising up and
Light is growing
Growing dimmer
While darkness
Is darkening
I steel myself
Trying to keep
Safe from
Demons inside
Rising up to
Throttle
My heart
Not knowing
Where to go
Or where to turn
I hold myself
Panic is rising
Rising up and
Light is growing
Growing dimmer
While darkness
Is darkening
I steel myself
Trying to keep
Safe from
Demons inside
Rising up to
Throttle
My heart
Not knowing
Where to go
Or where to turn
I hold myself

Hi, thank you, my kids are back from school now (first day of school after summer break), the demons are asleep until tomorrow when I am left alone once again. I do not like to be alone. Except for Mondays when I am used to being alone. Being alone on Wednesdays or any other day apart from Monday awakens the demons for some reason 🙂 Thank you for commenting!

Thank you so much 🙂 All is well, there is no reason to feel anything other than well, that is the most annoying part. It just happens.
