Poems - "Fighting the Demons"

Hey Motherlovers

I wanted to share this with you all. This is a short poem about a woman who has an unknown illness and how she chooses to deal with these issues. Everything in life comes with it's share of insecurities and pain, but making the choice to fight is what separates our experiences.

Please enjoy.

She took a step forward

Then a step back

She looked at all the things

She was leaving behind

And kept going on her path

They said she took a couple pills

Said that the Doctor prescribed them

From being so ill

Kept her from hearing voices, it kept her

From paying her bill

She wasn’t sure what she was looking for

Or where she was headed

She just took her keys, money, a bottle of whiskey

And left her pills at home

Yet They continued to laugh at her

Yelling and screaming in her ears

The less pills she took, the worse it became

It guided her towards the bar every night

Surrounded by her fears and a glass of cheap wine

And they kept at it, day after day

Torturing her with memories she wouldn’t live to see

Torturing her with the fact that normal

Is one thing she will never be
Taking everything away from her 

The day she would be free and walk among

The rest of the brave

Would be the day she would be laid to rest

And no words will be left to say

But she won’t go down easy

Those cheeky bastards!

Each and every one of them will pay

She’ll go alive and kicking

She knew she would die trying and not one word was said.

Muah, Nuggets.
