Demons Inside
by Donna D'Amelio

Look within the inner light
And move aside the good
Lying there hidden from view
The sleeping demon lives.

Glory of light cannot dispel
It lies within us all
To slay the monster that waits to pounce
Takes more than sword or prayer.

It moves in swirling shadows
A beast that yearns to live
Build your walls with heavenly trust
And hope will be your shield.
