Delusions

Delusions
I can't feel it's hand but it's touching me again.
The words it doesn't say echo in the wind.
The Demonic face it has that I too often see,
is shielded from your eyes and your reality.
It's called a Delusion when this specter torments me.
Why oh why oh why can't I just be free?
When this specter invades my thoughts the things I often find.
Are fear, anger, hurt and rage which consume my mind.
Now it's flight or fight with this beast you cannot see.
Who invades my heart and soul and won't just set me free.
Therapy and medication are just band aids on my pain.
Could my delusions actually exist and come from another plane?
Well for now the best path I believe I can take,
is to just ignore the beasts and give my mind a break...
