I, Zombie, Part Viii: the Ending

There’s no greater joy Getting back a loved one lost Price paid, but no cost Tactics once employed By the Monster and his crew Work no more on you Healing you have found You have taken higher ground Beat the Monster down Doppelganger’s gone You will sing no more its song Do no more its wrong The Zombie’s shaken From nightmares you’ve awaken Conquest hard taken Daemons exercised Your life you have taken back From fiendish attack Honor highly prized The ending is now the past You have won at last! Sulking in the cage The monster’s making his plans To once again rage Rattling his chains The daemon waits to regain Control of your brain You still must defend For the Monster lurks, my friend To return again… To one’s self admit I am an alcoholic I’m bipolar too Duel diagnosis If you are, what you know is Don’t let your guard slip There’s miles yet to go Take it one day at a time And you will survive This time you have won But beware of the Daemon It’s never ‘the end’…
