Never Ending Battle

Intoxicating tendrils of smoke Swarm around my head Calling me towards there smoky start My mind swirls and flips I become dizzy wit desire "No, stop it!!" I cry out Strangers turn and stare I'm crazy is what their thinking "Go away!!" tears stream down my face Just a puff my subconscious tells me Just one, that is all you need I begin to choke on the grey fingers That grip around my throat Desire is swallowing me whole "No!" I choke out I have a family that cares for me My anger begins to flare My sword slices at the smoky haze It begins to fade away I can think a little more clearly Dizziness withdraws from my mind 'I'm free' crosses my mind But the tendrils begin seeping back towards me This battle has only just begun
