Demons Conquered

in the depths of the valley
where you stand all alone
the angels are there to rally
you are not on your own.

between the drops of tears
your demons do dance
to the rhythm of your fears
they will take their chance.

you say the fight is within
but see who's around
look back where you've been
angels have covered the ground.

the mirror's reflection
is the demons you see
its only a collection
of what you don't want to be.

listen to the singing,
battle crys can be heard
the angels are gathering
and all have conferred

your demons may seem ready
but they really have no clue
your angels will fight steady
they are not giving up on you.

the battle may be long and bloody
with casualties on both sides
all will be tired and muddy
but the angels will take the strides.

the demons will finally retreat
with their tails tightly between their thighs
they will be humiliated by defeat
on the breeze you can hear their sighs

when the duel is over and the dust settles,
the valley will be peaceful once more
there will be sunbeams on the petals
i'll be there holding open the door.
