Demons
Each of us has to deal with
our own personal demons.
Not one of us is free of them.
Mine make me overthink.
I think too much;
then I can’t sleep.
When I can’t sleep,
I think to much.
My mind plays out
all kinds of scenarios;
they may never happen
in real life,
but they become real in my head.
Paranoia sets in -
then I can’t sleep at all.
Much of the time,
the people I care about
have no idea
where I am coming from.
They must think I’m crazy.
I must make them crazy.
I don’t mean to;
it’s the demons.
