Battling On

By Domma Leigh  02/03

As the darkness creeps through my mind,

I wait for the pain, that will confine.

The demon and the devil laugh at my plight

The coldness fills me with the fading of the light.

My soul cries out unable to bear

I scream, It is so unfair!

But in my heart I know,

I now reap what I sow.

I called this to myself

I thought I could leave the past on a shelf.

Now the piper demands to be paid

Alone I suffer without aid.

I am now locked in here

Hating the world, filled with fear.

I just want to hide from all, who refuse to see

That the cure is as bad as what is killing me.

My mind spins in swirls and through all doubt,

All the agony of life trying to burst out.

I don’t care! I won’t let it win!

I want my life back again!

So it can try with all it’s might,

But I am going to beat the odds and win this fight!
