Vanquishing potions.

In the midst of darkness, one would find a torchlight to brighten the way.

In the midst of dryness, one would seek water to quench that thirst.

In the midst of awful tears, one would hide in ice cream and chocolates.

In fear of the boogeyman, one would hold on tight to their bolster or soft-toy for security.

In silence,  one would seek music to fill that silent void.

In lonely nights, one would seek their tears as comforting ways of expressing what's in their hearts.

In times like these, 

all a person wants to do is to find something to vanquish that fear, that lonely silence, that dark.

Everyone has their own ways of 'vanquishing' their demons.

What's yours?

A mother protects her child from the fears. Telling stories that all will be good. Tales where the boogeyman ends up not scaring her baby anymore. No more monsters in the closet. An imaginary tale; rather than having fears and countless tears every night that makes a mother broken hearted. Comforting the heart of what it fears. Even by means of vanquishing the logic; vanquishing the fear inside, hopeful for sweet dreams to come to the child. So that a mother may smile upon the child's smiley sleeping face at night.

 

At night upon sleeping, with having vanquishing thoughts; multiple imaginary thoughts, the guilt of having your own comfort being upon that of others, hurts. Words can be as sharp as swords that can piece through anyone's buttons. Tears from which you can't see and tell their reasons of existence shall only be for that person to know. And I can tell you that, not every vanquishing potion is as easy as it seems. It gets harder depending on your demon. And if you don't succeed, you'll end up getting hurt everything it resurfaces; reoccurs. Tears, I call upon thee. Help erase these memories of the scars set here by those done so willingly.
