crushing my life to the ground,
making me sit in darkness like those long dead." Psalm 143:3
making me sit in darkness like those long dead." Psalm 143:3
the fatigue which is
that shadow which refuses
to disappear in the sun,
the fear which giggles
in the closet's shadows
as i hang up my clothes,
the pain which is like
a constrictor slowly trying
to squeeze all my energy out,
the loneliness which seems
to have adopted me as
its long-lost-now-found friend.
it is those little enemies
which wear me down each day,
not that Enemy i was always
warned about, but seems not
to pay much attention to me.
