-The Battle- 

The thoughts storm in like raindrops

I try to see the light that the clouds block

If I stop for a moment

Then time stops

Although I still continue to feel the raindrops

Struggling to find a dry spot

With every step feeling like a long walk

Hope is my partner and my enemy

Too much of it will get me soaked

Too little will make me choke

I want to be persistent

But I know I wont

I want others to listen

And yet they dont

I'm at war with myself

A battle that is undefeatable

Looking for a cure

But the issue is untreatable

With strength and confidence

I will stay at float

The weather is rough

But good memories blanket me as a coat

I have doubts, worries, and anxieties

But the Sun is too strong to be blocked entirely

Waiting to burn the demon inside of me

I hold my ground

And wait.. for the next fight to be!
