    About this ebook

    This book of short poems is about finding a release from sadness. It starts out about facing depression and madness but ends in finding your nepenthe or your release from sorrow. This is the authors second published work. The author tried to convey that we are not alone in our battles. That everyone has their own demons but that doesn't mean all is lost. We can still fight our demons and find our happiness even though it is something we will always struggle with. It is something worth fighting for.

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Smashwords Edition

      Screaming Demon

      Can you feel it there?

      There in the back

      Crowding your mind

      Creeping slowly forward

      Can you feel it?

      Feel the monster

      Its claws slowly sinking in

      Taking over

      Are you still there?

      Are you still fighting?

      Are you even trying?

      Can you hear me?

      Please keep fighting

      Please keep trying

      Please hear my call

      Can you do that?

      This demon is not unstoppable

      These little battles aren’t the war

      The war is what must be won

      And honey you can win

      This demon isn’t smarter

      Isn’t more powerful

      It’s equal

      It’s the same as you

      Can you hear the demon scream?

      It screams over your own

      It knows you can win

      Don’t let the noise distract you

      Don’t you see darling you aren’t alone

      Can you see the people who care for you?

      I know you have trouble feeling them

      But, I know you can see them

      I know the battles are never over

      And the war is
