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
