Welcome the darkness

Ever struggled with a mind-demon..? 

A problem seemingly so huge that it appears insurmountable...no way out..no solution..but welcome the darkness, let dream-sleep take possession of your soul and bring blessed relief... in the morning, whilst the problem may still exist, the mind is far more clear about how to tackle it...how to navigate safe passage in to calmer waters..crazy..? maybe not..

Welcome the Darkness

Welcome the darkness inside you..
Open the door to your soul.
Show up the Demon that lurks there...
Feel the sickening stench of your troll.
The darkest part of your being...
Sees the beast that is squirming within.
Every scale on its mis-shapen torso..
Each tooth in its hideous grin.

Surrender your fear to that darkness...
Hide beneath a blanket of sleep.
Open your heart to the Demon..
Lure the beast from its keep.
The monster is buried  within you...
A dark, evil child in your womb.
Conscious self cannot accept it...
Rational man has no room.

But darkness usurps all reality..
And dream-sleep has freedom to roam.
In the crevices of your existence...
To seek out the beast's stinking home.
The darkness will drag it out screaming...
Torn from the caverns it haunts.
If we seek to destroy our own demon..
We must first understand what it wants.

The End
