No more monsters ~

[Artemis]

Step out into the mist but get caught in the fog,
Leave the fire behind, the raging heat ~
Loosen the apron strings little by little
Fend for yourself, be hard, be happy.

Coils of emotion lead the way suddenly.
All that was created this power;
The strength of lions shows itself
Yet it crumbles a moment after.

The devil I knew better cringes,
The one I know not entices.
But it is this mind that is torn,
Hurt kills this heart, but for everyone else.

Winds of change blow up a storm
Shredding each heartbeat to ribbons.
Guilt never tasted so bitter
Swallowed whole and choking.

Still, the absent crystal ball shines,
Leads the way to a different path.
It will be trodden more carefully
There will be no more monsters.

This mad me at TPS as it does here, you're a great person and a great friend Ker, I hope you know that and the world will try to beat you down but you gotta fight back! A deep and moving write which hurts me to read, the metaphors and imagery are very strong making this another amazing write! Exalt

Kerry you have a heart of pure and solid gold. As you don't like to see my painful writes, I don't like to see the pain in yours either, sweetheart. The imagery of your heartbeats in ribbons is so potent to me, the anguish and inner torment are things that I am well acquainted with. Bless your sweet little heart for the last line of this poem... I hope that all of your monsters leave you.

Thank you to two of my best friends here. I treasure your words and I AM a survivor, I have to write to rid myself of demons and I'm just going through one of those periods where they are clutching at my ankles. I will be ok, thank you for your love and friendship. Ker xxxxxxxx

A world without monsters would leave heroic chappies like me with little employment.
