Shadowed Place
Poetry seems to be more popular lately so I thought "what the heck". So here's a nice family, Easter poem to read at Dinner tonight.
Shadowed Place
Was lying to myself today
I said the demons went away
And now I am forever free
From their torture and misery
But I know deep down in my heart
They wait to tear my soul apart
What hand has placed these goblins here
To play upon my darkest fears
They lead me too that shadowed place
And hang the noose before my face
They promise an escape from strife
"you just must end your worthless life"
Somehow each time I do refrain
And fight against the crippling pain
I claw my way back too the light
Another day I'll live to fight
The time will pass, the feeling fades
The demons seem to have been slayed
And though I close and lock that door
Demons will breach what was secure.
