So Many Battles
A poem about struggle by ED 6/13/22
How can I know familiarity
In acts yet undone?
How can I lose so many battles
When the victory’s won?
How many times could I fall down
When in four months I’ll fly?
How do I hold onto forever
When the moment says goodbye?
How do I define faith
When I always doubt?
How can I say “I love you”
When vanity I shout?
How can I find The Kingdom
When I can’t roll out of bed?
How can I seek the divine
When I can’t escape my head?
How can I forget my sins
When they haunt me in my sleep
How can I give You my all
When my heart I want to keep?

The conflict and internal struggle your poem evoked, reminded me of my habit of procrastination I'm trying to kick. Thank you for the motivation. Keep up the good writing.
