Fighting Back

As I look around this dusty room I wish for energy to clean and groom But my sickness holds me down in doom My emotions flood me My mind can't see All the happiness that I could embody Everyday I try harder to be The beautiful person that shadows thee This shadow it haunts This shadow it taunts This darkly shadow my fears it flaunts My soul it knows it's all a lie My spirit fights, so it can one day fly As I look around this dusty room With no energy to find a broom Suddenly it hits me like a canon's boom I am stronger then this expending doom My energy is meant for love and light So persistently I continue to fight Although it aches me, I know it's right So persistently I continue to fight Through the day, even more so through the night So one day my soul can peacefully take flight On its everlasting path of love and light
