"Demons Inside"    9 - 22 - 01



rip and shed

tear and unbind

the seams of my soul

slowly unwind



falling to pieces

crumbling to ash

the supports of my life

are gone in a flash



alone and scared

this life now unfolds

the future of this soul

is hollow and cold....

Author's Notes/Comments: 

ever feel like there were forces inside of you, not always good or bad, just the ones who didn't give a damn??

Another good piece. Just a couple of suggestions ... 1. they do unwind. 'Didn't work for me. How about something like; slowly unwind? (goes along with the meter better). 2. Unfolds/Cold. Akward this. 'Technically' one is a plural, one singular and considered to be a forced rhyme. That said, it DOES work in context and I couldn't easily think of anything else to replace it with. Might be worth thinking about though. Good poem though, nonetheless - Paul
