<u>Darkly Dreaming</u>


    Darkly dreaming, dare not sleepA case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    For from my mind a monster creeps.


    Know not mercy, pushed past insane.


    The wailing demon inside my brain


    Fed voraciously on suppressed pain,


    And stress, anger, mental strain.


    The cynical darkness behind my smile as I wait.


    For the next curveball thrown by Fate.


    There it is, but here’s another, let’s juggle.


    Resilience snaps. The demon wins its struggle.
