Daily, I have conversations with myself,
It is my strategy to drown my demons.
Daily, I speak strength to myself!
Some days these words are enough.
Other days, when this won’t do,
I allow a friend cloak me with love.
Or I simply forget who I am and just drift;
too empty to recognize my demons.
But more often than I care for, they win!
They cloak me in darkness too deep and
I drown! Submerged in untold misery.
