Battles

A free verse poem I've written

No one understands a physical battle.
The atmosphere of the fight will make you rattle.
The scars on your body tells a tale.
You are alive, you must prevail.

No one understands a mental battle.
The fight of the mind feels like grind up cattle.
Trap in endless despair, it's like a prison.
Your mind being taunted by demons that arisen.

No one understands a spiritual battle.
Unlike any other the demons will rattle.
Calling on a prayer, you hope Heaven will hear.
Jesus is coming, He's near.

Fights, battles, wars they come to us all.
We fail that each one of us faces it, that's a downfall.
Lift each other up, be kind and encouraging.
The battles you may face is what is discouraging.
