Defeating Demons

Shadows not substance
Creep in to steal the light
Confusion sets in
Try to discern wrong from right

Evil voices inside
Whisper words of self doubt
Run. Don’t trust.
Words I can do without

Hush! I scream, Don’t you speak
I will not listen to you!
I am strong, able and loving.
You demons will be few.

Seek out the glow, the glory
Radiate from within.
There’s splendor here. Open your eyes.
Don’t fall to past sin.

Hold the hand extended
Let the love lift me up
Discover truth, honor, beauty
And overfill the cup

There is happiness here
Be brave; take a chance
All is well in my world
Time to sing and dance
