Unquenchable Thirst

poetboy123

One foot after the other

Beat one foe, here comes another

My heart lets out a shout

Banishing all traces of doubt

 

Raw fire seeping through my veins

Determined to push through this pain

Head up, chin high, looking straight ahead

Fighting back against the demons in my head

 

Failure drops upon me like a stone

A boomerang returning no matter how hard it’s thrown

It’s bitterness a familiar guest on my tongue

One battle lost doesn’t mean the war has been won

 

With hope spilling from my eyes

And dreams held fast within my heart

From the bottom I will rise

A fire born, burning a path, a new start

 

Hear me now and remember my name

My unyielding spirit and desire I can’t tame

The future’s in my hands, my past left behind

Living in my raging soul, speaking my mind
