A poem about battling inner demons
Perpetual War

Forever at War is the Purest Soul
A battle of Good and Evil for control
Of the Mightiest Power one could behold.

Calm and Confident is the Shell
While inside it writhes in a Burning Hell.
Invisible to the Naked Eye,
All it sees is the Impervious Lie.

Demons and Devils lurk under the skin,
The Soul burning and dying in coalescing Sin,
Mired in the fire, it waits for its Requiem.

Daylight enervates and resuscitates
The Strength of an Angel incarnate.
But Darkness brings the flames of Evil Demonry
And the Onslaught of an Indestructible Enemy.

Haunted through the night by Temptation,
Tortured by a horrible Conflagration,
The Soul struggles against its Annihilation.

Then the morning comes with its Heavenly Light,
Giving the strength for the Battered Soul to vanquish Strife,
An Incorruptible Knight who slays the Dragon,
Is then slain by Twilight's infernal Creation.

And the Battle wages on...
