POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Demons
I tried bid to my demons farewell,
N they laughed in my face
N they said that they'd follow me
All the damned way until hell.
So I prayed to our Lord to be saved
And as he turned his back
He had nothin' to say
I could tell by the look on his face.
All my friends n my family have left
Through the blood, sweat n tears
Sure I gave them the years
That I honestly thought were my best.
Now I substitute promises with lies
Or that's what I might in response to enquiry
Never works though as hard as I try.

Bibere venenum in auro
Seems true north is a myth for some men,
With a compass that spins,
And a map that's worn thin,
From the circles I'm travelling in.
Teeth rotten and broke.
From the toxins I choke on,
And the lies that I spit when I'm sprung.
Like a conscience that aches ,
From regretting mistakes,
But only ever after theyre done.
Be it feeble escape ,
Or to settle the shakes,
B'een an age since was all in good fun.
From hobby to habbit,
To horrible addict,
It would seem this is what I've become.

From regretting mistakes,
But only ever after theyre done.
Be it feeble escape ,
Or to settle the shakes,
B'een an age since was all in good fun.
From hobby to habbit,
To horrible addict,
It would seem this is what I've become.
