The Demons Within

The Demons Within

A Poem by Sheila M
"

A poem about mental illness

"

the demons within

her raging mind

tell her to fight

tell her to hide

 

i see a girl

searching for love

but lost in confusion,

hatred, and blood.

 

my heart aches for her

i want to hold her near

she pushes away

from all who hold her dear

 

a lonely fight

her life seems to be

i wish i could help-

help her to see and believe

 

i know her battle

must be done on her own

i pray she defeats her demons

and returns to her loving home.

There are a lot of things that this poem can mean, I think. Mental illness was mentioned below ... but I think, too, that it could talk about abuse and/or the dreams of a little girl that's locked inside of yourself. I like all the emotion that you've packed into it.

mental illness is a demon. It possesses the people we love and steals them away...Such a heartfelt poem.

I'm a thinker and believer. My poetry is usually written in the blink of an eye. It's almost always a thought process. Some sorting and analyzing of emotion. I'm a bit self-conscious of my writing.. more..
