What Lurks Within

Too much I am inquiring
I don’t hear a response
I use to be inspiring
Now the beast haunts

Its deep within
Unsure of the size
I’m afraid I’ll sin
In the last of my cries

It’s a little scary
And kind of tough
My body I barely carry 
And my happiness I bluff

You depict my fate
You hold my hand through
Let’s set a date
To bid adieu 

I’ll fight till the end
I’ll hold my head high
I won’t bend
I’ll fight to see a blue sky
