Demons

Today is just another day.

My mornings are usually the same: take My IT Guy to the train, come home and work out, clean & do misc stuff around the house until it's time to get ready for work. Well, today I came home from the train and found that a strike plate needed to be replaced on an important door.  So I did that.  I didn't do my workout.  I'm kind of glad though, I pulled something in my back earlier this week and today it's horrible. 

Do you ever feel like you make more mistakes than others?  I feel that way more than I should.  There are days when I feel like I'm full of mistakes.  It's so difficult to stay positive on those days.  This is where my mind goes - to the negative.  I have little demons in my head that are louder than they should be at times. 

Which brings me to the song Demons by Imagine Dragons.  Have you ever really listened to the lyrics of this song?  

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come!
This is my kingdom come!

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

When the curtains call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come!
This is my kingdom come!

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

I know we all have demons. Mine seem to be all around.  Appearing to me daily.  It's a battle so many people have to face, on a regular basis. Sometimes our demons scream so loud that we can't hear anything else. What do your demons say to you?  Mine tell me negative things.  Thing's I'm not ready to share here.  One day, be patient.

So at the end of the day, my demons are no longer whispering at me, they're being too loud. The good thing about this though; it's the end of the day. Tomorrow is a new day and so many great things can happen.  This is how I get through at times.  Sometimes it's just me leaning on God.  He will get me through each day I'm here.

So, let me know what you think.  Do you have demons that linger and whisper to you? What do they say to you?
