There are some battles that cannot be won by force of will.
It isn’t fair
I tried so hard
I fought my greatest battle
Yet still the night,
It closes in
Will worthless as child’s prattle

I scream in tears
I beat my fists
At my cowardly foe
Manifested
Intangibly
No matter where I go

It follows me
It makes me sick
Its shadow ever near me
Malevolent
Yet innocent
Incomprehensibility

I will not go
I cling so hard
But cannot gain a foothold
It isn’t right that I should lose
Be I however brave or bold
