Defeat
Words rest on my tongue,
trying to escape my lips.
No. I wont let them. I
will not let myself be defeated
by something I cant even see.
These emotions burn deep in
my veins, chilling my
once warm heart. Warming
the blood running through
my veins is becoming so
hard. This thing keeps attacking,
each time I stand up, it
pushes me back down. It
whispers “Stay on the floor, bury your
face in your hands and give up.”
No! I Will not let myself be defeated.
I stand. I focus on the
beautiful sun set, Gods painting
on the wide open canvas of the sky.
As the moon rises, it illuminates
the earth as I've never seen.
Shadows cast across the ground.
But not dark, like those deep
within me, trying to destroy me.
No, these shadows are
filled with wonder and Secrets
waiting to be discovered.
Stars twinkle into life
out of the black depths of sky,
reminding me of hope
being born within darkness and despair.
The voice is persistent however,
trying to make me turn away
from the beauty of nature
and look back into the
cold depths of despair.
No! I will not let myself be defeated.
The darkness within me grows
weak, no longer able to
control me. The words still lay
upon my tongue, pressing to
escape my lips. But their
strength is fading, mine growing.
The stars fade out,
giving way to a sunrise.
A new beginning.
My new beginning.
I will not let it defeat me.
