Fragile Spirit
Loneliness casts vague shadows,
gray mist clouds my mind.
Confused, my heart follows,
a path, that is undefined.
Can I see what is in front of me?
Or do I see what is not there?
Are my decisions based on reality,
or am I totally unaware?
Sadness dwells within my lonely heart,
wrapped in memories of the past.
So entwined, they refuse to part,
hiding in the darkness they cast
Feelings, a wary enemy to battle.
I pray inner strength will remain
Though I am weary, my spirit fragile,
its my freedom that I fight to retain.
Through the dark, I struggle on,
seeking the light of tomorrow.
Will I still be standing at dawn,
or fall into the shadows of sorrow?
