Sickness

Weakness settles in

"You cannot go on, you cannot win"

I've fought so hard, I can't lose here

It takes away my hope, my strength, I fear

-Sickness comes, sickness goes

It cannot win; not even close

An eye for an eye I will attack

I'm strong enough, I will fight back-

Always watching, always waiting; it strikes me when I'm low

Takes down my defenses, the one I loved the most

-Sickness comes, sickness goes

It cannot win; not even close

An eye for an eye I will attack

I'm strong enough, I will fight back-

Depression enters the equation

I have no friends, no family, no safe-haven

Feet slipping, arms out wide

I fall down to the riverside

Flames to ashes, ashes to dust

My calloused heart, set in rust
