Fighting God
Ever have I fought,
Against God,
Against myself.
Ever did I struggle,
Always demanding,
Always overreaching.
Whatever I thought I wanted,
I was given,
I was granted.
Never the dream realized,
But, reality pure,
But, reality harsh.
Always given what was wanted,
But, obliged to pay for it,
But, obliged to struggle for it.
Now, I cease to fight,
Against God,
Against myself.
I do not ask.
