A beast inside
Gives comfort,
Yet ferocity.
A place to hide,
A friend to know.
A foe to fight,
A sense of timeless lies.
A monster may guard me,
But he traps me as well.
Pinned against a wall of thoughts,
A chain tied to the weight of myself.
My demons protect me,
As they scrape swords 'gainst my brain.
I'm a free prisoner to them,
Until they need me again.

Life living with depression, anxiety and other demons. Many artists cope with these, and we splatter the results on the page in warning. Right Amethyst? Hang in there.
