My Battle For A New Me
Today I begin a battle within. Broad sword weilding heart. Shine crown wraped head.
Today I challenge my demon. A war plan drawn direction. Stand or fall as one; the end.
I wish to dance with him. No longer against him. I wish to become my demon’s friend.
This battle’s brutal campaign to unite blaze and shine; demon tamed--monster trained.
So let me write this now in custodian’s clear head. Incase I come out of this battle dead.
My battle pointed west at sun’s blaze, face full of sunset shine, leading my shadow away.
Please understand that battle was one I had always hoped to never have face alone within.
Please understand that battle was one that I tried to contain; you were never meant to see.
Please understand that battle was one that was personal and all me; taming demon greed.
That once cozy and quiet library be damned as I watch warriors assemble awaiting plan.
Watch towers rise manned, crowning daunting walls of iron bulwark strengthened hand.
Shelf isles row forming ramparts with racks of gleaming maintained weapons to defend.
The dimly lit cubby holes I once curled into now murder holes to trap intruders within.
Our old colors fly proudly on rainbow and shine banners of unicorn framed sunset sky.
I stand alone filling fortress open gate; armor at feet, fully naked--unashamed, unafraid.
Please understand that battle was one nobody could have prevented; lost my faith within.
Please understand that battle was one we pre-planned; Operation: Departing Neverland.
Please understand that battle was won soundly, securing loyal demon friend; Retribution.
Allow my now patient demon and I to both humbly apologize; we are sorry that we ran.
Trust in my battle win--have faith that demon is now a friend; we are ready to love again.
Retribution’s healed flight might stands guard at the viewports of my fortress command.
With his respect and blaze at my demand I’ve gained the upperhand; boots on dry land.
My broad sword in balance with Vengeance’s battle ax grip; her horned smile stare gaze.
Mayhem perched upon back. Tenticles hone hidden paw claw’s blaster’s green daze aim.
My heart ablaze with soul shine. My monster mode smile stare. My demon friend named.
Destiny mine again--still young, wild, and free. Soul’s heart now smiles; peace within me.
I smile like a whole new man; feet in the sand, my name mine again, back in command.
