Fight Or Flight

What’s the point of fighting anymore What’s the purpose of even trying any more The lights now gone from my eyes All I feel is self loathing and despise My darkness drips, hangs around my feet My face, my features they all look beat I had the light once, a long time ago Bathed in sunshine I did but glow Lying in that meadow my heart grew weak Surrounded yet alone, I wasn't able to speak To speak up to speak out to offer my hand With the hopes of someone who will understand The pain of loosing your light, along with the fight When no ones there to catch your fall The pain burns though your body as your mind ignites Yet all you can do is stand,weep and silently call I stand upon a precipice of emotion Either way takes all my devotion For once I decide there’s no alterations A leap or step, each will crumble my foundations Its not the fear of an extinguished light Its off facing the fact that you need to fight To fight for your life and the will to survive The power to pick yourself, to make yourself thrive
