A Battle To Remember

 As a new sun rises

 Old memories crowd

 A wandering mind

 Tears fall like rain drops

  As a victory is yearned

  From an inner enemy

   He has many names

    Call him depression

    Or even Mr. Anxiety

    How he creeps up

    In the quietest of nights

    No law can protect you

    From his unending reign

    Sweat crowds your palms

    As they shake uncontrollably

    Your heart races as you try

     To defeat a strong negativity

       Hope becomes a broken glass

       There has to be a better way

        Oh this will not be accepted

        Smiles will be worn in public       

        Even if the pain is unbearable         

        Slave to this unleashed demon     

        For how long can one be?

        One must be stronger than the

        Devil who taunts relentlessly

        No longer shall one be titled a fool

       That lays at the mercy of another

       If he wants an unchallenged fight

       Well it will be a battle to remember
