Poem; Monsters

A mind filled with clear thoughts
Until the thick black fog came

And with the fog there came a depression,
And with the depression came the monsters

Monsters like:
Loneliness, insecurity, fear, tiredness, worthless
Pain, powerless, desire and many more.

While the fog cleared and the thoughts where getting clearer
I could count the many scars hidden in my mind
Big and small.

Thinking everything was finally fine.
No more pain, no more fogged up thoughts.

But while the fog had cleared away,
the monsters didn’t go.
Mostly they where gone, but some where still hiding
Waiting for my guard to drop down

To attack me in the middle of the night
or on the corner of the street

Just waiting for a moment of weakness
Waiting to attack and make my life hell again.

24-hours

24-hours

Sometimes a blink of an eye
Sometimes a long road filled with pain

24-hours
An eternity, another day you have to get through
Something you don’t want to
But you do

24-hours
You can’t do it
But you have to
Because what else can you do

24-hours
Something worth fighting for
There is someone that loves you
Don’t forget that while going through those 24-hours
