Alone Within

Alone

Within my thoughts

My biggest fear, one that sheds a tear

I put on some music and let the war begin

I stand my ground on this horrid battlefield

I stand no chance, but do not shift my stance

I'm swept off my feet, the pain raging throughout my body

I'm left with sorrow. I try it once more

I march on, one foot, then the next

The music dims, and my thoughts start to quiet.

I listen to the birds chirping, a moment of relaxation

For I have won; leave the past

Alone.
