How does one conquer a monster they cannot see? |
How does one conquer a monster they cannot see or touch? I never thought I could hurt that much. No one notices. No one cares. And yet everyone wonders Why we put on airs Until the darkness is too much to bear. Who is there to fight the beast away? It's in your hands only I am afraid. Seemingly unconquerable, It sneers and grunts. For your peace of mind Every day it hunts. With many a counselor and many a pill It always helps to have a will But, one day its weak spot you will find That leads to a life of peace of mind Four years of trials, An attempt at my life, A love affair with the edge of the knife Until one day I finally heard A secret to keeping my sickness at bay. I know that my journey is far from over For my memories this simple fact does not cover. But a myriad of skills that help one to cope Is what will bring that glimmer of hope. Effort is the key To have what it takes To help one to see The difference love makes. I finally have a way to keep Away from the hope of eternal sleep. And so the time is due To share this hope with you. I hope you will heed My solid advice That will cure the need For every vice. I could go on, For my joy abounds. But for now I am gone To see what life holds To keep me around. |
