Final Round

Needing to release this,

But I’d just be bleeding on the page.

When will this end?

When will I come out the other side,

Find peaceful places in my mind.

That aren’t filled with shadowed thoughts,

Congealed into wicked jelly.

Taken a gut shot,

on the ropes, it seems.

go ahead

take another swing

now my head is spinning,

so much for my way of doing things.

Control, the one thing I couldn’t keep

doing my best to stay on my feet.

I strike back,

aim and miss

shove these thoughts down again.

They drop me to the mat

On my knees, ready to tap out

Then from outside the ring,

I hear him shout

Rely on my strength,

This fight is already won,

I have overcome.

I get to my feet,

Taking the last swing,

 the enemy staggers back in defeat,

I sigh in relief.

For greater is he that is in me,

than the enemy I’ve just beat.
