My Fight
Sometimes I have to tell myself to breath, As if my breath has be taken away from me. Sometimes I am blind, why is it I can't see? I'm slowly losing grip on my own reality. I'm fighting this internal enemy, A bloody war raging through my mind. Both sides deliver fateful blows, Inside this prison where they're confined. Or so I had assumed, That these demons were entombed. Until in front of me they bloomed, And began to zoom around my room. Their epic battle had resumed, Both wanted my soul consumed. On this fateful afternoon, I've been brutally split in two. I watch helplessly as fate, Unfolds itself before my eyes. The window beside me shatters, And I am flying through the skies. The night is beautiful and cloudless, Yet lightning strikes just to defy. One demon slices the other, Its piercing cry tells me it died. The triumphant demon glaresat mecoldly, Through my body it eyes my soul. It begins to advanceslowly, Drilling mewith eyes as black as coal. Itlets out aferociousroar, My ears split asmy mind explodes. It is almost upon me now, I reach for the only weapon I still hold. Silently I begin to pray, Begging for His grace. I ask you humbly,Lord in heaven, Don't let this torture be my grave. I've devoted my lifeto you, I loved you and you forgave. If ever I need you Jesus, I need you here with me today! My eyes open to find the monster, Hovering over me with itsfangs descending. I finallyaccept the inevitable, The story of my lifehas foundanending. My prayers have gone unanswered, And I'vespent this entire timepretending, As if I hadn't already known, Nogrand saviorwill come defending. NO! Just beforemy neck met its jaws, Before it gnawed my throat to pieces. I found within methewillto fight, And the strength to actually beat this. I rolled to the side, still floating freely, Its fangsbarelygraze myneck. Quickly Iflydown to the dead demons body, Andremovethe blade lodged deepin its chest. Whitefire burns in the depths of my heart, Fury so furociousIamblind toreason. Logic should have told me to run, Butit is my destinytoslay this demon. Just asSaintMichael has done, Since the beginning oftime. Iascendtowards the demon, It must pay for its crime. Swiftly through the airthe heftyblade lashes, Straight throughanarm the sharp metalslashes. Darkblood rains down, landing loudly with splashes, Two more swipes and its over, downwards it crashes. I race after its bodythrough the darkness of night, The friction fromfreefall cause us both to ignite. The earth opens its gallowsspewingall of hellsmight, And into the fire my demon leaves sight. The gallows of hell are where alldemons belong, But theycan escape if we don't remain strong. I doubted my faith, I know now I was wrong, For I was saved on this day and given the strength to move on.

I am 20 years old, fresh out of boot camp. Infantry for life, hooah.
