Its like a woman who has personality disorder, has conquered it all when a man came and rescue him.
A wonderful poem. I am glad she found someone to help her. I wish it was as easy as a poem. Thank you
She was so unlikable because of how she.....? .....with people. .....oops! :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - my favorite stanza: But as the bright blade touched the demon's skin the ground opened up around it her dead personality traits rose up and joined her attack their combined efforts defeating the evil within .........................you make it sound so SIMPLE. i also particularly enjoyed the line much-enjoyed by colleen, below. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if the bible had not already been written, i would recommend you to be one of its writers. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - but who was the mysterious man who helped her turn her life around? ? ? and what caused her decline in the first place? some material for future poems perhaps? you DO write some wonderful tales! keep up the good work. thanks for sharing. bri :) i did not even miss humour/humor and rhyming which are so much a part of most of my poems.
This is such a great poem of hope and inspiration for all those who continue to fight their own inner demons on a daily basis. I love the line, buried without ceremony, in the graveyard of her darkening soul. Such a wonderful line! As is your closing lines also! Great job John!
A very well written tale of conquering the dæmons inside the head, albeit, I must say, a touch too optimistic, and vaguely unrealistic. But on the whole, as a poem, it tells more about the readers - like for me, the glass will be half empty perhaps no matter what, for many others, this poem can show them that it is half full. Thank you for sharing.
