Inner Demons

by MarioELC
Poems collection about fighting inner demons, who belonged to mysterious unknown person.

So… You are here, huh? At your lowest?
To say things true and, let’s just be honest,
Didn’t expect to see you here so soon,
Where pain wraps around your gloom.

In valley of sorrow, I’ve walked for a long time,
This world, to find a place where sun can shine.
But fell as you did – I’ve been there too,
And been through misery, just like you.

But I am not here to laugh at you. Oh no.
That time when I did that was long ago.
I am here to tell you what I’ve learned,
So inner demons wouldn’t make you hurt.

Yes, you heard correctly – they are real,
They won’t stop until you squeal and kneel.
They’re lurking on the border of your life,
To stab you with their nasty mental knife.

Those bad ideas, from self-hatred to guilt,
Are just their instruments to get you killed.
So, if you are interested, or maybe not,
I want to tell you what knowledge I’ve got.

Still with me? Splendid! And don’t you worry,
Everyone falls down, eventually, being sorry.
Though I faced shadows through my journey,
Sadly, none of them were defeated very early.

But that is just probably because I am weak,
But, enough of me. The truth I will now speak.
And it was true since the world was born:
You must face the deepest darkness… before the dawn.

Huge shoutout to one person, who gave me enough motivation (and kicks up my butt) to write this in the first place - OP - The Guy.
Originally written for poetry contest.

This is just a personal poem collection, that represents emotional and psychological struggle with problems, that I hope some of you will like, and others may even get hope from!
I don't plan on writting a few more poems regularly, because for me to write about something deep and complex like this I need to have a good understanding and feel things.
