Demon, I Am
I closed my eyes today in front of the mirror, and when I opened them wide I saw a demon. Lurking in the shadows, yet standing eerily in my spot. I blinked, it blinked. I smiled, it smiled. I could not look away. Staring into it’s eyes of deep darkness, it told me of pain, sorrow, lust, destruction, and loneliness. I closed my eyes and breathed, trying to erase it from my thoughts. Trying hard to not feel such emotions, and yet I breathed it inside of me. I slowly opened my eyes, looking at my reflection— I saw myself. But stepping closer I saw in my eyes, the demon lurking inside of me. Realizing that it is a part of me, I embraced it and went on living.
I Hope to be an Angel
An angel came to me one day, a fine and cloudless day. It passed through the gates of Hope and swiftly landed upon the lush green grass of spring. Walking up to me, it’s wings a folding, smiled a light upon me and took my hand. No words it spoke from it’s mouth, but it’s eyes told me another story. Such eyes of twinkling hope it bestowed on me, that I could not look away. Those eyes of lightness told me to stay, to live on once more. Hope and keep on living, never give up, it persuaded me. Giving me a second chance. A chance to prove myself, to find myself and my reasons to go on. The angel blinked and let go of my hand. A warmth still lingering in that embrace. And with it’s wings spreading out, it flew with the breeze from the fresh spring air and disappeared into the lightness of the blue skies. When I came to, I was lying in the lush green. Blinking in the light of day, I sighed a deep sigh and came to understand… It was merely a dream. A dream that relieved me of such past sorrows . This dream showed me and gave me the sense to live again, to give a chance and let my new life begin.
Putting it all Together Now
I finally found myself in my reflection. A balance of good and bad I calculated out. An angel of light; a demon of dark… both are me. They are apart of my life, sharing what comes and goes in my living being. I no longer have to struggle between the two. I’ve chosen the path to embrace both, leading me to a new life. I am everything. I can be anything. It doesn’t matter about my wants or needs, or rights or wrongs. I like the new me-dark and light at the same time. Lighting the darkness of the night and darkening the brightness of the morning. It’s a relief to feel both ways instead of just one and/or stuck in a tug-o-war. I’m grateful to have found a balance in this craze. So I have started a new beginning, a hope of joy and a lust of pain…
