The Demons of My mind - Poem

Hey Friends(:  So, I really wanna share with you a piece of poetry that I wrote as a part of my Psychology assignment on Mental Disorders.. The poem deals with the undesirable consequences of 'Addicton'! Constructive feedback will be appreciated. Have a great day. (:

THE Demons of My Mind! 

When I close my eyes 

Trying to analyze the pain deep inside 

It takes immense strength and courage 

To set all the outwardly things right 

Situations have become bizarre 

I have devils residing in my mind 

My world has become an illusion 

Things are difficult to leave behind 

A glimpse of myself in the mirror 

Truly leaves me ashamed at what I have become 

The demons harm my identity

Making me cranky, depressed and glum 

They stealthily haste towards me 

And laugh at my abrupt condition

They leave me whining in desperation

To pain and alcohol , I have adhered 

I try my best to become as perfect as I can. 

With power and faith , I attempt to resent

But these demons,  immerse me in my  heart-rending sorrows 

Making me realize, that I need a doctor's help 

I dwell in a parallel universe 

Where darkness overshadows the light 

Sufferings have increased, 

My life is filled with sheer displeasure and fright

I embraced addiction, with a spark of happiness and joy 

Unaware that one day, it will  leave me alone to destroy 

It made Me a cold blooded animal bounded with treachery and greed 

A self- created maestro, of thy evil deeds.

 Lonely and indebted

 I seldom cry fiercely to myself 

Deprived of love and tranquility

I am an unfortunate victim of my own ruthless self 

I once used to be a, charming young lad 

Down the lane, from south 

But now, my teeth are rotten 

I have become outrageously hideous and stout.

Most of my memories have been eradicated 

I've lost all my dear ones 

I am stuck in a hell with these callous monsters .

But through psychotherapy , they will shun 

My soul is numb with fear and revulsion 

Doctors claim that I need to go to rehab. 

However,  I have decided to struggle till the end. 

Until I get all my beloved back 

No more weaknesses left,  I have become strong 

Now, these unforgiving demons will be proved wrong 

With strength and resilience,  I will take back my love, life and soul 

They will have to return to me all the precious things they stole
