Only You

A power surge plays riddles with my body

every nerve set on fire

every emotion heightened 

every thought crossed with conflict

like an angel playing the devils game

out of the dark

the power of light shows brightly

Quicksand consumes all

but those strong enough to fight their way out

life regained

cherished

felt

where one was once left with endless doubts

another takes her place 

fighting away all dark

standing in front of the mirror 

she is the same

except for the glow that surrounds her face

Calm finds turmoil silently letting go

warriors are made to fight in everyday life

placed on earth we all have our battles to win

some fall hard

never believing that life is more than what has been given

for they found weakness taking over their every nerve.

Once they hit rock bottom

they are made to make hard decisions

crawl out fighting for everything 

or nothing

leave all behind that brought them down

or lay where they have been thrown upon the ground

A fighter can be found

deep within

under the mask of fear 

they have placed upon their being for safety

Walls are built

as they are meant to come down one day

when the time is right

and they have the courage to fight for what they 

want

need

what makes them feel alive

in a world that has always shown them pain

A power surge plays riddles with my body

telling me to shake the negativity off

what once tormented my mind

is now lost

for life gives no one the easy way out

we were born into a world that is not easily lived

we were born with our own strength

never let those who want you down win

Only you succumb to yourself

only you make the changes that needs to be made

only you can find your happiness

when you are not battling yourself within

only you have the power 

to stop all in their tracks of destroying 

the soul that fights to find peace

only you can make the best 

out of a world that holds so much negativity 

Finding the positive in every negative

Finding love where once you felt nothing

Finding light where once a lantern could not even 

show you your way!

Only you have the power

to find yourself 

where once stood the weak

easily devoured! 

Only you!
