In the corner of my eye
A darting shadow
A prick on my skin
And a presence felt through malice
The dark one
The one who inserts vile images in my mind
Images of death and worse
When I am sad
When I am lost
Always there
Waiting to crush my joy
To nourish itself with my self loathing
To break me down
To influence me
To change me
I always resist
I bare my shield of strength and love
I show no fear
Look directly at it
It is invisible
But
I
Still
Feel
IT
It will not go away
And neither will I
I refuse to give in
To bow down to evil
For I am stronger
And little does it know
That I feed on it
END
One thought
