The War Within

I am standing on the edge
Of an emotional precipice
Do I allow things to stay as they are
Or do I step forward into the unknown Abyss

Fear grips me, of what I do not know
It makes me quake deep inside
How will I protect myself, or worse
In whom could I confide

Life goes on or so they say
Yet here I stand stock still
What do I do to figure this out
I stand by my own sheer will

Don’t forsake me, or count me out
I will understand, someday I will fight
These powerful demons in my mind
I will make what once was wrong, Right

Pen or Sword it matters not
As the power within me grows
Love and Hate wage war within
The outcome no mere mortal knows

first visit here and glad I stopped by what a wonderful phrase and I agree with Peggy
"pen or sword it matters not
as the power within me grows
between love and hate..

Linnie: some great alliteration in this: ..'here i stand stock still'.. great imagery.. you are so obviously readying to do battle! In such a short time you have grown so as a poet. Make those demons work FOR you.. a powerful and very personal write.. well done! katy.
