I finally confronted my worst enemy,
Having avoided its power for so long.
It evolved into a terrible battle,
Violent rage blackened the sky.
Its force was overwhelming,
Nearly driving out my soul.
Darkness began consuming me.
I had no option but capitulation.
There are battles in which a defeat
Reveals itself ultimately as victory.
It was a struggle I\'ll never forget and
A victory I shall
Forever
Savor.
