Demons

I love you, fear…. I love you anger, you’re part of me. Go to sleep. you’re safe. I love you. I’m not leaving you. You’re part of me, you’re part of the family. You’re never going to be away from me. I love you failure. Come into my heart. Rest. You’re so tired. You’re so scared. ……. I have space for all of you. And together, we’re going to go forward now.

Elizabeth Gilbert

He struggled in silence

With the demons in his mind

He did not yet

Know a way to be kind

And loving to his self

Too many inner voices

That cut him down

That made him feel

It was not worth the fight

To be himself

In a world where he

Felt himself to be broken

There were pieces of himself he had to find

And join together

Because often the sad fact is

We can become fractured

By a world that does not want

Our inner truth

To fully ‘Be’

So there is a time to be a loving witness

To yourself

And welcome those inner demons in

Ask them for a cup of tea

Because deep inside

Their tortured cries

May just be a part of you

That is exhausted and terrified

A part of you

Just longing for

Acceptance

Understanding

And love
