Mental Imp: A Poem
There lurks a demon above my head
It is red and dark with shining black eyes
A bird or an imp or maybe just a shadow of my mind
I know not its purpose
But there it lives and has remained for ages
Repeatedly it sweeps down and tears at my mentality
I strike at it, to no avail
So the beating I have retired to take
How or why is misty to me
For I have not asked for this beast
Or have I?
I dream that one day, very soon, it shall take over me
And I will be gone from this dark world
Maybe it is an omen of my asking
