Safe 

 

By Daniel K. 

 

Demons. 

Pound. 

Resistance is tiring. 

On the door. 

The door dissolves,

And the demons. 

Stampede. 

In. 

Rainstorms. 

A jagged blade dragged across my body, 

Growling for satisfaction. 

Pill after pill. 

Sleepless nights. 

It was a poison.  

Alone.  

Falling into a pit. 

Of agony. 

Light. 

Hope. 

A great struggle. 

War after war. 

Battles won. 

Floods cease. 

Help found. 

Alliances formed. 

Victory secured. 

Safe. 

Wounds heal.
