And so, in delight we remain blind
Unconsciously rejecting your inner self
Until one thing provokes the other
And consciously, we try to find
our inner peace, again

Until we meet again
You and I
Daemon, my disgust
Begone with all the hatred
you built up in my mind

And so, in sadness we are aware
Consciously accepting your limitations
Until another daemon will find us
And eliminates our defense

Try to restore your fallen glory
For reasons unknown to this daemon
Our kin will fight on
Pursuing our final embrace

And so, our body and mind will resolve
This bitter issues we
now are aware of
Holding you to a higher standard

That will give you the ambition and courage
to fight on, ever towards your dreams
And now that we are finally awake
Press the attack, for you are the one chosen

Chosen, to alter and influence destinies
Of glorious kind
Don't let that daemon put you aside
For he is naught but trouble

Don't let the daemon whisper to your ear
'Come find me...'
Don't.
'Come and find me...'
I won't surrender to you, malicious insanity

Just a little something. It dropped out of nowhere, I swear! I love my ancient laptop when my PC is having temporary problems.

Just so you're aware of something, "daemon" - though used as an archaic spelling for "demon" - more commonly refers to the "genius" part of your inner voice, the talent trying to break through.

Seth Godin explains it in his phenomenal book "Linchpin."

The way you spoke of it cause some confusion for me and, overall, the piece was a bit on the vague/muddy side. The issue with poetry is that oftentimes the emotions are very closely tied to you because you're experiencing them...so the meaning of the poem is clear to you, but not to us. Which is what I get from it.

I'd like to suggest working on clarifying things a tad bit more so that the reader has more to work off of. I really didn't know too much of what you were trying to explain. :(

Not a problem! Anything to help a fellow poet grow!

It really is interesting though because you write verrry similarly to the way I did when I was 17.

And when I look at my older work, I see that I did the same thing with a lot of what I wrote.

Yeah, dude. Keep on writing! That's the most important part.

I now have a collection of pieces that go back to 07' and amount to a few hundred [trust me, only a tenth of those are really even worth skimming]. But the progression you'll notice in a year is really cool.

I totally agree with you on that. :) You'll learn the most through practise.
Woah, that is really much! =O

They were sooooo terrible. Haha. Oh man, I had to grow up a lot. But hey, even the bad stuff serves a purpose: you wouldn't know that you've "progressed" unless there was something to "progress" from.

Haha. ;) Exactly, that's what I always keep telling myself, if I've written something I'm not very proud of. :)

It's very true what they say, you get the actual "learning" part of it done when you flop. The good ones don't teach much.
