Soul Battle
Left in the wake to wonder
asking the void why me
soul feels like a sunder
both good and bad are key
Knowing what I should do
falling on what's easy
reaching for that part of me
often makes me queasy
Why do I try
why do I care
I want to break and cry
but I know I shouldn't dare
I'll keep fighting
for the good
my soul is lighting
the darkness is fooled
