Warrior in a cage

I’m a warrior as they say

Then why don’t I feel like one

In my weakest moments

Along my travels I met to many

As I die tonight I wonder

Why It took so long.

Waited for so long for something that I cannot hold.

Something I cannot touch.

I wonder how long it will take.

As I linger, I watch as the sun goes down.

Will this be the night?

To fight off my demons

Once again, I cannot say what they are.

The voices becoming too many once again.

I wish upon the falling star.

As he danced along the gravestones

I just want to be free once again.

But these chains of pain keep me here.

In the darkness of this cage

The empty and the void keep telling me things.

I hold my breath waiting for the light.

To come again into my life

Only to find moments of darkness

The only thing I know anymore is to fight.

To survive another night

Another day arises to meet my eyes.

I ask for no more, but they keep coming.

Holding onto these burning bars

The pain rises.

To give me the pain I need to keep going until I cannot anymore.

Got to fight one more battle.

Got to hold on for one more reason.

Counting my blessings and my reasons

Even them are dimming but they cling to me.
