A Ray of Hope
Deep beneath this cover of mortality
There are flicker demons battling with me
They wait patiently for my impuissant side
But a fighter stands on the wings of evil
Once held back by a taunting past
Of abuse and disregard
Hidden away waits a torrid woman
Of fluid flesh and bone
Heart and soul
Rendering love and kindness
With a lasting yearning to succeed
Now the wounds have since long ago healed
But their affects periodical linger
I have learned much from my own pain
And the strength and courage I’ve acquired instill radiance
That will radiate in my light of hope
