The War

Friday, March 06, 2009

You may have lost this battle,
But you have not lost the war.
This demon with which you struggle,
Is one that you’ve known before.

Fight him with all of your power,
Release yourself from his claws,
Your sword plunged deep to his belly,
Your anger exposing his flaws.

Strike now for his eyes that watch you,
With mockery in his evil gaze.
Your love is your mightiest weapon,
Use it to break through this haze.

So you can move into the future,
Past the demon of your yesterdays,
To end all of your pain and confusion,
And today break away from your chains.

Open your heart to the future,
Shine your light as never before,
Only then will you know the experience,
And the glory of winning…
The War.
