Slumber ©

Take care when silencing the demons in your head,

lest you invite the Devil himself into your bed.

You cannot run, you cannot hide

from what must be dealt with, deep inside.

No self help book, no pill or drink,

only taking the time to deeply think

and honestly assess the true cause,

the deepest secrets, failings, and flaws,

being true to yourself, and only then

will you find sweet slumber again.
