Demons

It’s been a road so rough,

I’ve been wrecked and broken,

And I have risen as well,

There’s been day and night,

But there’s always been light,

Not guidance perhaps, but a plan,

The suns been up lately,

There’s the silence I prefer,

The corners, the niches of life,

The nooks and the crevices,

I’ve been away from the world,

But closer to myself I say,

Dark horse I feel like, not black beauty,

Duty I am of myself, not anyone else’s,

A shadow of myself I am not,

I am just myself,

Good entirely I am not,

Darkness is just my virtue,

I am what I am,

This is what my life is, a figure so huge,

I smile for myself, not you,

Here I stand, with myself so strong,

This is where my demons lie.
