Poem Title:
Poem
Written: September 2nd, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In the depths of one's mind, foes reside. Within oneself—a war cannot be denied. Refers to individuals—their internal strife, Struggles and spurs that shape their life. In the realm of views and desires so deep, Fear and doubt bestir—akin to demon creep. Inner blows waged in the darkest nights. People tilt with doubts—their inner fights. Self-fuss, the first foe fated and faced, Wariness whispers, leaving hearts displaced. People may be snared by doubts so real, But in besting them—true strength they reveal. Inner demons lurk, negative impulses arise, Anger, jealousy, and addiction—their disguise Moral dilemma salient constant scrutiny of will, Still, culling what's right or what's usable, still. Emotional turmoil, a storm within the soul, Grief, guilt, and gloom are taking their toll. Complex emotions that can't be ignored, A salient casus belli that we can't afford. Dealing with this zeal is a joust to be fought. But it's in facing the slam—that swell is sought. Solitary sabotage that is self-saboteur. Bewitching in behaviors that baffle our allure. Success and well-being, they strain to impede, But by owning the patterns, we can succeed. The battle within, a constant struggle each day, Enduring our inner demons, we find our way. Through the depths of our minds, we forgo, Facing gloom and letting pure selves show In this inner enmity, we find sheer strength, Conquering our fears, extant to any length. No matter the challenges we may face, We have the power to rout and embrace. So let us defy our inner rogues with might. And loom victorious, shining with core light. So let us face our fear, doubt, and desire. And ignite the fire inward that will never tire. In the abyss of our souls, we hold the scope. To rise beyond moils and let bloom hope.
