Why Do I Fight
Fading the blackness
With explosion of light
Eating away chaos
As sanity regains it sight
Righteousness erodes deep trenches
Through evils thick crust
As promise wields hopes hammer
And pounds it to dust
My fight has been long
A grueling battle it has been
For my quest to be wholesome
And free of all sin
But my resolve grows weary
And my will is getting weak
Just a balance between the two
Is all I now seek
How can there be a victor
In this ongoing fight
When it takes darkness
For there to even be light.
