Our Dark Demons To Fight Poem by Francis Duggan

The most of us have our dark demons to fight
When the brain is shrouded from positive light
In our moments of sadness that borders despair
We tell ourselves life to us not at all fair
Those who lack in compassion could never come to realize
Why some above their dark moods can never seem to rise
Only those who have in them the gift of empathy
At the afflictions of others can display sympathy
Though even psychiatrists trained on the workings of the mind
In understanding the human moods a challenge do find
The happy at all times do seem to be rare
And I envy the few who do seem free of care
Though on our life's journey happiness we do pursue
That most of us have our dark moments happen to be true.
