The Battle

“The Battle”

Dark
Pain
Destruction
Despair
All I smell throughout the air

Smoke
Hatred
Death 
Strife
The struggles I deal with all my life

Sorrow 
Sadness
Defeat
Submission
Leaves me wondering and wishing
Why can’t the world be good?
Why is evil’s reign never in vain? 
Oh so evil
Oh so Dark

As I relinquish my wants
And accept the way I am
Light and Happiness come to the surface

Grace 
Hope 
Faith 
Love
Good will stand tall
Above it all
Oh so evil, but oh so good
The battle is yours for the taking.
