With Back Against the Wall
by Jerry Bolton

I steal away into the night,
Black as the heavens with no stars,
With back against the wall I fight,
I know the battle will leave scars.

In the hard grasp of misused words,
I stand my ground, my fists are tense,
Dark is the night, something has stirred,
I hate to wait filled with suspense.

I'd be safe away from this place,
A craven coward all my days,
The time is now that I must face,
And I have no choice but to stay.

It matters not what is my end,
I take what happens like a man,
I control my destiny friend,
Dark are the forces where I stand.

Stay strong Jerry, we are with you.
We are behind you, we are beside you and when needed we will step in front of you.

You're never alone my friend

Ahhhh Jerry but there are many in the dark who
love you and know through all things you overcome
all diversity. For "I control my destiny friend"

You always overcome my dear dear friend for "With back against the wall I fight," there are many numbers of souls behind you there to pick you up and support you.

Love and Light

This dark little ditty got me thinking. Even the most timid of us will fight when our back is up against the wall. Your way with words never ceases to amaze me.

So very true, we need to look beneath the darkness and find that light...it is there!
Reviewed by Annabel Sheila 9/17/2012
It's at times like this when we discover our inner strength...when dark forces threaten....I guess when you're wise enough to know you control your own destiny, you can rise above your fears. Well done, Jerry...

I have been in this position before and when all that is said and done...all we can do is the best we can and hope that we can stand tall when our final showdown comes.
