One Single Impression has the prompt 'Demon".
The Demons
We all fight, in separate ways,
The demons in our minds;
Creatures of the dark recesses
That trade in the unkind.
Freud knew,
Our inner knows it too.
Stresses
Build upon the angst within
And so put fractures on display,
To let the demons in.

Hi J.C. ~~ This reminds me of "Drood" by Dan Simmons. Drood was to crafty and to be dreaded if one knew his ways. He implanted little creepy crawly bugs that actually would get into a person's mind.

Yes...our demons can become demons all too often.
ReplyDeleteLoved this - a nice easy read. I love the words you use - trade and fractures. This one is a real gem.

The whirls of our brain are tortured some days by invisible but very nasty "critters."
