| One Foothold You battle an inner demon deep within your mind they try to throw you rope from within you must climb I find you have more courage than I think you are aware I am only here to share my hand, my heart not to shove you into the light I know at times you crave darkness ill help to point the way if I can and hold your hand along the way tomorrow is yet another day at times I cry feeling helpless at times I see you peeking from just inside, looking for the light... then the tears that fall are because of the courage you display exemplary my dear... beyond the realm of darkness lies a mind full of hope and dreams as you strive to find them and just a bit of peace some resolve and absolution condemnation of these demons somehow weakening there powers there grasp upon your heart and soul the demon I cant conquer for you... or a dagger in its heart I'd plant as sure as I am breathing I would end its twisted life my mind reaches out to this insidious hold... no ties that bind you can I cut... the demon keeps me at bay with a different hold... laughs at my ignorance... yet..... one foothold at a time... he falls one step back and then another I am your mother, to some a friend... ~o0o~ I write bitter and happy ends today I write as a mother and as friend If there be healing powers on this earth I hope they steadily shine upon them they seek rebirth to grow and fly away to start a new day |
