Demons
Demons gaunt and snarling circle my meagre campfire

                        Demons



                             Demons
                             gaunt and snarling
                             circle my meagre campfire.

                             I know I'm safe
                             as long as I'm on guard,
                             the flames fed and flickering.

                             Sleep beckcons,
                             fire sputters and dies,
                             demons advance and pounce.

                             My mind is taken,
                             they ravage my soul --
                             I'm helpless and vulnerable.

                             I've been reduced
                             to a lost little boy,
                             afraid, confused and alone.

                             I can speak
                             through another's voice
                             in language I don't understand.

                             The demons leave.
                             I'm left to undo the havoc.
                             How can I possibly explain?
