Never Back Down

In the deep depth of my dreams,

The rain falls capturing the shattered

Soul inside my needless body.

When faded memories become new,

The body that was once healed,

Now a framed picture to remind me

This pain is eternal.

.x.

The shadows in my peripheral vision

Move ever so slightly,

Letting me know they're present to capture me again.

Where I shall fall, letting them conquer the soul that's

Now floating above the heads of demons.

.x.

I'm left dying upon the frozen white blanket that covers

The once warm, comforting ground.

There's a quiet scream beyond the shadows.

Do I go?

Walking without knowing,

My legs push through the bone chilling air.

I venture on a journey.

A journey where I shall never back down.

.x.

I walk…

I stand…

I live.

Never shall I back down to you.

Not in my unbearable dreams.

Not in the dark of night.

Nowhere will I ever back down.
