Angels and Demons in the Dark

I may be stationary 

But I'm always moving.

Stagnation scares my soul 

So forward i must go.

Never satisfied with my past story 

Just obsessed with future glory.

I've vanquished demons

Some external 

Others of my making.

Some stalk me in darkness 

They wait for my light to dim

Sometimes the battle they win.

But never the war

Down i may be 

But down I never stay.

I've been dragged to despair by the devil

And saved by angels among us.

I share a piece of my heart 

To every soul i meet 

I know the pain

Of a heart full of love 

And nobody to give it to.

The love of friends and family sustains 

But never completely fulfills

But my heart never stills.

Loneliness lurks in shadows 

I distract myself to keep the light 

Find purpose through work 

Express pain on the page 

But the darkness hungers 

It’s over if it wins 

But it will never win

I”ve come too far 

And hope still holds 

one day an angel will find me 

And forward i will go 

Leaving the dark behind me.
