As I sink into the void
The claws of consciousness pull me from behind
Harrumphing and grunting all the way
I really don't have a say.The challenges are hell-bent on wiping me off
My faith saves me from being distraught
The heart strives to contain the onslaught
In a race with my eyes to sustain.
A dam so carefully built is in tethers
A push and out flow the waters
Silence is cryptic when not understood
Walking away is better than being used.
Impertinence and contempt
Weaken the fetters of a lifetime of trust
Actions speak more than words ever could
This is how promises are made good.
Lips sealed are sewn by threads of deceit
Muted by the blades that never bleed
Yet, confidence lives in valleys deep
Where everyday the warriors meet.
