A Poem a Day Keeps My Demons At Bay.

A poem a day keeps my demons at bay, stopping to think and make sure i'm okay.
Checking my pulse and breathing real slow, thinking the thoughts that only you know.
Now breath comes easy and so do my words, yet they leave so fast like so many lost birds.
Then in this moment i am fully aware, completetly ready but not at all prepared.
A poem a day keeps my demons at bay, cause when im screaming my poems i cant hear what they say.
Cold shivers folow and a silvery smile, and im glancing over my shoulder, all of the while.
But im still breathing steady, safe for one more night, now i sit praying, waiting for mornings's light.
As the soft light creeps westward from the eastern sky, i laugh with joy and i may start to cry.
Morning has come, on the wings of morning star, and i remember my God is never too far.
I need not fear the night, or the shadows or dark, for i am God's child and i bare his mark.
