A demon who entered my dreams as a child
and sat behind me, and smiled
A demon who held a slave’s noose behind its back
A demon who lied to me;
A demon I denied.
A demon who followed me all the way through my life ...
It never captured me even when I was weak
I refused it permission to walk into my life
for the angels warned me with their gentle voices,
Once in, the demon would never leave.
My soul its slave for the rest of my life...’
