deep within the hurt : demons of fear

deep within the prison of my hurt

I found strong

and indestructible core

of love for myself

even as all of the demons tried to

tear my life and soul apart

Those were sadly

just the doomed voices

of an uncaring non intelligent world

so it was I had to fall

and even feel for a very long time

the full brunt of your hate

What is it within the soul of man

that turns towards fear, evil and defences

and away from love

that begins to mount its hostile weaponry

around the wounded self?

I think it is lack of courage

I think it is lack of true strength

that masquerades as power

but there is no love in the will to power

as Carl Jung says

and as the Bible says

only perfect love

has the power to melt

and cast away

those powerful demons

of fear
