Battle Within

Four walls, eight corners, ceiling, floor, there’s me and no door. Alone and ensnared within my own conundrum of a prison, my labyrinth of my own insanity. Apprehensive and daunted with no direction I scour the walls for an exit to my puzzle of this mental enslavement. Help on the outside at reach but too far to hear my cries. My demons pursue me within these walls without mercy, bearing down on me relentlessly, raping me of my very being. Evil at hand, easy it is to unite and associate with its enticing treats that seduce and tempt me to run to the allure of evil’s friendly and welcoming face. Where do I run? Where do I hide? Where is my saving grace? Please God help give me the strength for me to embrace.
