The Demon by ShyHeart

There is a demon in my heart
That tears my kindest thoughts apart
No matter how hard I try
My words are thieves, they setal and lie

I am the demon in myself, there I've said it, now I know,
I am the demon and solution.
To my self, I give this proclamation

DEMON, GO! I cast you out
From my heart's sacred house
And where you go, I do not care
But, pray you die..., before you're there!

Martin, always remember, that where our minds focus, there we will be. You can mentally walk away from any thought as you navigate through this world of feeling.

Very Good Advice, Lori, thanks
I'm very impressed with your ability to take my heart's dark, clothing, wash it as you do, and hang in Sunlight so that I can see what I'm wearing, and when its time to change.

Lori, my reply has no reflection that I think all women can do is raise children and wash clothes, you know me better than that. So, why did I even mention it? Don't know. It was just my way of saying what I meant. I'm learning and my vision is clearing because, of replies like yours and others. I supppose poets often use poems as questions, looking for answers. Your reply/answer is very much appreciated. Thank You!
