yet more often than not
the madness the sadness
the rage and the pain is already boiling
the demons tend to quite resistant at first
they've been here quite a while
(and not willing to succumb to simple change)
comfortable red bellied sweaty hell fucks
it's possession with leisure and style
and with each stroke of my pen
or a light tapping of my many keys
i can find in theses abandoned hours
the stuff that provides the ease
i could easily get lost you know
right here in this comfort zone
behind the safety bollards in my mind
on my own but not alone
i try not to spare a thought
for these homeless demons of mine
after all they have their own realm
and if they stayed there; that’d be fine
but they don’t and they won’t
they seem to relish it here instead
but i’ve no room or time for them
or all this other baggage in my head
