I Write As a Form of Therapy

[b][big]I Can’t Drown My Demons [/big][/b]
[b]Because they know how to hold their breath
And I don't have the easy demons and they do not perish. They are insidious, cunning, devious, and cruel.
They have an ugly smile on their faces the entire time they are persecuting me. And they always lie and tell me everything will be alright.
That's why I have to shove their heads underwater and keep holding them down while I watch them struggle. Even then, they know I am not strong enough to hold them under until they die and they simply endure my rage.
However, my unfounded strength does compel them to disperse for a while until I am weak enough to be preyed upon again. A brief moment of sanity, if you will, from their torture.[/b]

Those moments of sanity hopefully lead to more peace and less demons. But those demons know us better than ourselves all too often.

@Sorrowfulgaze Yes, and that is why the war
continues.

@4getmenot each day another chance for victory or defeat. The noblest fight of all.

@Sorrowfulgaze The fight...for another day! yes..

And you realize how precious each day is when you are waging that war.

@Sorrowfulgaze Truth. And because of our mortality, we must not allow our mistakes [i](demons)[/i] to interrupt the natural progression of our time.

Our journey continues despite any and all mistakes.
