I feel the darkness closing in

The creeping gloom

Howling voices raise a din

A forewarning of doom


No one can help me

I must fight all alone

I'm neither as brave as he or she

My skills I must hone


They say they will come

Yet I turn away

They are just some

There has to be a way


It seems I'm in a darkened room

There's no door in sight

I try to get through the gloom

I struggle with all my might


I get no closer than before

I just want to give up

I'm battered and sore

I want to yell enough


Yet I know I must keep fighting

To win this stupid war

The end I think I'm sighting

And then it is no more.
