The demon in me - ZorbaBooks

The demon in me

The demon in me

he’s back, I whispered

who? inquired the tiny voice in my mind

fiend from future

he’s building an army,

lures, tempts me with lust,

how do you know that? inquired the voice again

my body burns, he hijack’s my mind,

ignores my will

sshhhhhhhhhh, no worries

come sleep with me, the voice whispered

so my guess was right,

it wasn’t the demon outside

but the demon within

the tiny inner voice laughs, fades away

i open my eyes, to see the warden

feeling my forehead and the pulse

quipped she, read some good books Garry

true, I said to myself

sometimes, we miss what is obvious

the battle should begin

with the demon within

“Happy Dussehra to all”
