[DOF] Entertainment: Where are my Demons? They're awfully quiet

[Where are my Demons? They’re awfully quiet] 

-Russ 

Where are my Demons? They’re awfully quiet; 

Without a speck nor word—Making me antsy, I see— 

It seems they switched sides 

Or dead—should I be concerned 

Or delighted—when all within sight 

Are the four corners of my life. 

The silence sure is endearing, 

Dreariness: gone; 

Inner peace has been restored, 

My soul can now sleep. 

But Alas! Here they come—Haven’t I killed them? 

The looming shadows within, 

Walls creeping in, 

I fear not my gentle Demons, 

For they were only sleeping. 

And so they laugh—I’m not— 

Now it’s a feast fit for Kings within a squatter’s castle. 

Where were my Demons? Where they not asleep? 

A little slumber was all they needed.
