Resisting

So, demon then, think not you’ve won I’m not your prisoner, you hold no key I chose my options with careful thought I will not be yours, rather, be set free Know this for certain, you have no hold No more to tempt me, I will not sway I’ll find my way to escape the cold But, not through you, no not today As I will live, I’ll struggle too But I will never give in to you

Goodness, quite a remarkable piece, there is a great depth to this. Thanks for commenting on my haikus, cannot take at in number 3 as you suggested, would change the meaning and I had allowed showered as one syllable! Try saying it fast. ! Déirdre Ó Maidín

Its a nice feeling when you can change an painful scenario into an empowered stance to walk away, not looking back. Well, maybe glancing over the shoulder a bit.... Great write! Much love, Steve
