I feel the daunting darkness
at my distressed edges,
fighting harder
than ever before
to break though
my fragile surface,
to corrupt my hazel eyes
and terrified soul
once again.
And I feel myself trying
so hard,
Too hard,
to keep it out,
to not let it claim victory
again.
"Keep fighting"
I demand of myself.
"If you give up,
it's all over
and you know it.
If you lose,
there's no other way
to survive."
And so I stand there
With collapsing knees
And trembling fingers,
My mind ready to lose
but praying for victory
as the bloodshed builds
and the walls
begin to crumble.
And when the
suffocating,
grey,
smoke clears,
I see a flag waving
clear and tall,
Looking as if it were bulletproof
The only problem is
I don't know
if it belongs to me
or my nightmares.
