Ted In My Head

This poem is inspired by my recent, unexplained, and unwanted experiences with what I believe is the soul energy of an individual I can’t fully name. This poem is my way of coping and trying to figure out the “why” of my experience and put an end to it. I have learned that other spiritually gifted individuals have had similar experiences with this soul and have also used various forms of creative expression to cope.

Clarifications:
1. I chose the imagery based on learning that this soul liked sushi and since then all I see and hear about is sushi.

2. The use of the name Michael refers to the Archangel, though I am not Catholic.

3. The use of the word demon is a literal usage.

TED IN MY HEAD What's your purpose?

What's your plan?

I can't seem to understand.

Your name and face I can't escape.

Signs of you so out of place.

All day long I feel you near.

Your energy is everywhere.

Questions,

Theories,

Guesses made.

Even dreams you now invade.

Your violent rage is what I fear.

I call on Michael to be near.

I wonder now if it's true that something dark took hold of you.

Eyes of black that once were blue,

I see the demon inside of you.

It took you over and controlled your mind,

Causing you to commit such crimes.

Is redemption now what you seek?

To free your soul and be at peace?

With your message still unclear,

I search for answers everywhere.

Somewhere I know they must exist.

Until I find them,

I must persist.
