This dark half of mine
Its black lava floating through my spine
Burning with fierce intensity everything coming along its way
Its leaping tongue of flame ready to devour me whole
Exhausted in my efforts to escape, I do surrender to it
And watch helplessly as it commands my better half to kneel.
The struggle that goes on within
The storm that I weather constantly
Yet, something keeps telling me this fight is not new
And its ending is never in sight either
But if I could distance myself just for a moment
And not get involved with either side
The broken self starts to cement itself
The flames subside
The black lava starts to disappear
A ray of sunshine baths everything
Under the shade of hope, a new happy self is born again.
