The Dark Demon

A dark night that is never ending
The dark demon clawing at your soul
Life lived under a constant cloud.
On the other side of the abyss,
A ray of hope, a glimpse of freedom,
Memories of happiness
Sun, warmth, the light of life
Just out of reach but always there
A slippery slope, hard to grab hold
A step forward then 2 steps back
How to bridge the gap?
Climb out of the dark?
Break free from the demon?
A never ending journey
To the inner depths of your mind
Always hoping that someone,
Somewhere, will understand
And wake you up from this eternal dark night.

Yes, for me it's that desperate yearning that someone will understand...
