I’ve read about the calmness
That overcomes you
Physically
Mentally
Spiritually
When drowning has finally won
This serene Shakespearean narrative
Told by those few
Brought back
From the brink
I refuse to believe this tale
Convinced I’d be in pure hell
Agony
Anger
Fight
Belief
That I could still win
I refuse to believe that by giving up
The pain goes away
I will fight with every cell I have
Until it all goes black
- my eyes won’t shut forever due to a lack of will and fight
