My Demons: Awakened

My demons: are awakened; They're lurking around inside my mind I've become so bitter, shaken These demons somehow keep me blind. These demons are trying to get at me; Throwing obstacles in my way My writing these words, be mistaken But it's just my demons wanting to play. I find myself in grips by my demons; As if they had chains on me Thunderous yelling at myself In the mirror that sat on the shelf. Gaps in time unaccounted for; Missing what had just taken place I know I have some memory problems, face it But, this is more like it's Alzheimer's disease. There are these days I forget my name; And there isn't anything to blame Sometimes forgetting where I am Or are these my demons trying to shame me again. Writing of this makes me uneasy; I keep telling myself or is this reasons I ought to choke you to make them stop; Sometimes, I think my head is going to pop.

Hi, Jeff! Thank you so very much, for this comment, and your visits are always welcomed here. There is much time in those simplest things, like tying my shoes, I forget, poof, gone, and that hurts, my name, smh. I have a few tests scheduled to see what going on because this does frighten me. Best of Wishes, William
