The Fight Within

We often strangle ourselves within,
Quietly, choked and suffocated within. 
Dare no one can read it,
Not even a close one dared to feel it.
The load that has been weighing heavy,
The grueling and strenuous task to carry. 
We ignore the pain and soreness to feel less petrified. 
No one sees how much we have sacrificed. 
To bridle the feeling and win the fight within.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
