Inner Demons Poem by Bryan Seyffert

Lost in a sea of despair and confusion..
Lifes troubled waters I'm slowly cruisin..
Fear and doubt hinder choices I make
All my life feeling a fake..
Daily betrayed by my own emotions
No longer in control just going through the motions..
I want to be real, be whole, be me
But I can't see the light past the troubled sea
I glimpse a beacon..momentary relief
But alas..just the same old motif

Falling back into the daily grind
Allowing my demons to control my mind
I shut out all emotion or thought
Put on those new headphones all for naught
Turn up the music to drown out the pain
Take out my harley to ride in the rain
Washing away all my confusion and sorrow
Hoping the sanity will last till tomorrow

Make it back home in control again
Push it all down..don't let them in
Busy mind hoping to sleep
Hard to do with the demons I keep
Drifting off now and then
My demons are free my dreamscape within
