Battle
a battle between
heart and mind;
a fighting spirit waged against an arsenal of thoughts,
the war begins.
hope spread thin rises from within;
a shield against the darkness,
against the mind;
whispering despair charges in,
taunting,
tormenting;
“there is no hope;
you are weak,
pathetic,
vile.”
hope withers
collapsing in on itself
the heart begins to shrivel,
no longer able to stay strong.
courage steps onto the battle field
facing the darkness,
facing the mind,
protecting the weakened heart
the war ensues
the clashing of courage and despair
reverberating throughout the darkness
the screams cut out
the panting ceases
silence
the smoke clears
darkness lays,
defeated.
light glimmers through
happiness begins to sprout.
the war is
over
