Demons Within
Immured within walls of flesh and bone
It raves, rages, and craves
Screaming and scratching at the halls of its home
A beast wide awake…
Caged
Sullen, stretched, starved, segregated, separated
Inimically Isolated
Cravings curbed by its captor
The damned demons’ desires deserted
While its captor awaits impatiently for the rapture
Capitulation surely could be reverted
Undetermined
Wait, work, wonder, wish, wail
To no avail
The beast which resides inside calls and cries
All of which die on deaf ears
Captor can’t wait until the beast dies
The beast curses its captor and his fears
A once unified mind
Torn asunder
Benevolent and benign
Dragged down under
Insane
Beaten, bent, battered, bruised, broken
Ripped open
It raves, rages, and craves
Screaming and scratching at the halls of its home
A beast wide awake…
Caged

Benevolent and benign
Dragged down under

Brilliantly descriptive and beautifully written so that the audience can't help but connect with the rawness, the pain, the fragile and so on...
At least here amongst other like minded people the beast need not be caged, your beauty shines immensely through your writing...and not all ears are deaf my friend ;) 💜

Such wonderful feedback Crim! Thank you so much! It's great to have a place where the demons can be released and run free!

A very relatable piece, each of us with our own demons to contain, some of them louder than others, never content unless they are constantly rattling the cage...

I agree, and that's part of what I love about this general topic. Everyone can connect in their own way. Thanks for the feedback Kas! ;)

I kept catching myself looking over my shoulder reading this one. But these are demons one can't outrun, aren't they? Great write! :)

Great flow and understanding of the binding between words, the internal morphed into animal form I really enjoyed also. Write on.
