My Demons

 I am a warrior. I take on every challenge and give it everything I have. There are days when I struggle; days when I get overwhelmed. There are days when I want to throw my hands up and walk away. I don't. I push forward even though it's hard.

I was told once that I needed to fight my demons. That's not necessarily true. I do not fight my own demons. My demons love me and they play with my angels. I fight the demons of others who try to control me and put me in places they want me to be. I will go where I need to go and do what my destiny demands, even if I have to fight the demons in the world around me.

I fight the demons of the world. The ones that try to snuff out the good in the world. I am a powerful healer and positive spirit. The world's demons do not like that. They do everything they can to beat me down. I will not let them win!

I learned a long time ago that I had demons as well as angels that would protect me. They taught me that perfect balance could be achieved if I worked at it. I learned you must be able to sit quietly in the dark if you are going to fully embrace the light.

I embrace my demons and cherish each one. They have taught me valuable lessons about life and the dark forces that lurk along the paths we travel. They have taught me their secrets and tricks. They have shown me how to use their own evils against them. Call it what you want. I call it my own version of Karma.
