Conflicted
I looked behind me in fright
To rest my eyes on the sight
Of every hour past,
Growing nearer to my last
Peering through the glass,
I teared up and stood aghast
Fearing time moves too fast,
Haunting memories amassed
Regret inside my head vast
...I let it pass
That was not the place or the hour
To wear a sad face and cower
I need to feel empowered,
Not be a delicate flower
Must stand tall as a tower
When dark thoughts roll in and shower
I won't let my will sour
...And be devoured
Or maybe I'll just surrender,
Return that confidence to sender
Put my legs through a blender,
Accept that I'll be prone rendered
Defiance, my sole defender,
Lets down its guard when I remember
Death's whisper so tender
...I let it enter
To rest my eyes on the sight
Of every hour past,
Growing nearer to my last
Peering through the glass,
I teared up and stood aghast
Fearing time moves too fast,
Haunting memories amassed
Regret inside my head vast
...I let it pass
That was not the place or the hour
To wear a sad face and cower
I need to feel empowered,
Not be a delicate flower
Must stand tall as a tower
When dark thoughts roll in and shower
I won't let my will sour
...And be devoured
Or maybe I'll just surrender,
Return that confidence to sender
Put my legs through a blender,
Accept that I'll be prone rendered
Defiance, my sole defender,
Lets down its guard when I remember
Death's whisper so tender
...I let it enter
