Within My Mind
Deep within the darkened hallways of my mind
I claw at the walls, searching for a light
shadows grow darker as demon eyes pierce through
Staring at me with bright yellow hue's.
Slowly I crawl through into a boat
But there's no water and it does not float
I stay inside the boat to keep me safe
From the demons in the dark of the cave
I fall asleep within my safe place
But wake to a light, Shining in my face
My hand raises to see the light
Demons retreat and the view comes to sight.
About this poem
This poem actually I wrote with a riddle inside of it but I'll give you the answer, the boat represents my now fiance, she is my safe place, but I also battle depression so that's where the dark comes in.
