Lifes Battle

Another old poem from my past

I walk into the valley of death hoping to see the light

I'm beaten a bruised, used and abused

But for them I shall still fight

I don't want to believe that the world lost its faith

Hookers and abusers, molesters and controllers

In a world so cold and dark, how can anyone feel safe

I battle your demons, just me and my sword

My soul has cashed a check that my body can't afford

I'm fighting for your sake, somethings got to break

I'm standing at a lake wondering how much this body will take

My body's getting colder, my eyes are turning gray

I look into the water hoping I will stay

From out of the lake stood a dark man

Sword in his hand, this would be my last stand

I can't believe what I found,the things that i seen

That all the worlds demons has turned into me

I look in my eyes, I see all the lies

It was time for me to end it, it's time for me to die

So i lift my sword high and gave a loud cry

I close my eyes as i lift my head to the sky

I lay on the ground quickly falling to death

I see the people I love as i take my last breath
