My Outer Demons

Description

On one knee.. yet I'll stand. I always go on.
________________

sorry to those who can't read the txt. Here's the poem. BTW it was written by me myself and I. This is a very personal visual representation of how I feel when my manic depression kicks in.
_________________



First born is self doubt
Terrible and chaotic in its own right
A child wrought of ruin, regret, and errors
And in descending spiral patterns
Fear springs forth
Of self imposed degradation and misery
Leading to naught but harm and decay
And of those rotting remains feeds pain
Thus pain wraps itself in sadness
And from its cocoon is born self loathing
Winged in disgust and desecration
Bringing waste and demise to all within
Till all is void and hollow including itself
Leaving nothing but self apathy to breed
And thus is my cycle of madness
My spirals into what should not be seen
But is always outside
My outer demons
I would destroy myself if not for myself
I would save myself if not for myself
Controlled by the whims of wild emotion
I await absolution that will never come
And yet always, I go on

So deep, yet entirely true. I can't understand how you can put such emotion into art and words. You are brilliant.
