Myself As One

Resilience and hope are fighting by my side         
Carving persistence with the edge of trust,        
Creating a mold of wisdom labelled victory    
   
This battle aspires to a serene outcome    
     
While decisions shift into scepticism,        
Reality preys upon outgrown promises        
     
Confusion rides the mist in my mind,        
Clouding all but the survival I long for        
                
Unguided options weigh heavily on my life        
Turmoil lets loose a pack of wild ordeals        
Hordes of convincing doubts please my pride
       
The fear of regret attempts to seduce me        
The weakened grip of sanity holds onto me        
       
My escape is sheltered from despair        
Lonely is myself, albeit never alone        
My vigilance will not be outmatched        
       
Judgement stands guard to my thoughts  
...For this day has been dubbed POWER
