Monsters
April 5, 2017
A title I hold,
I carry,
I endure.
To be bold,
To be strong,
To be fearless.
I will not fold.
I dare not give in.
I have to stand tall.
My hands go cold.
My heart starts to slow.
The dark creeps close.
Then I gleam gold.
Fire consumes,
Eyes turn to light.
The dark falls old.
It shrivels in my blaze,
It hisses at my haze.
I scream with anger long rolled.
A bright flash,
A long bash.
The monsters I fight
Will take me in the end.
But not till I've taken them.
