Today was the lowest day

In a long, long, long time

The only way to go now is up

Dragging self along

As if on bloody fingers

Raw to the bone from

Immeasurable heartache

Let self be enveloped in despair

Shed an ocean of tears

Many emotions flooded through

Exhaustion, sadness, anger

But then like a lightning bolt from

Zeus himself...

My salvation

My self-preservation

My armor

Determination

My iron will

Has enveloped my heart yet again

I will not let this evil defeat me

With the last of the fumes I'm running on

One step, one inch, one moment,

One breath at a time.

Giving up is not an option

I choose to fight

And I will win!
