Adversity in a World of Dark

Aniexty pops its unwanted head

  The mere thought of seeing you

Tears my heart to shreds

   Suffocating in my own misguided thoughts.

Happiness is a concept that is lost

   As all of the seasons begin to pass

My heart is slowly being devoured in frost

    Lost in a world of blindness and hate.

The flower that blooms in adversity

    Is still yet to be seen

Perhaps it's still flowing through its journey?

    I think not.

For this land cries,

    It wails from deep within its bowels

Crying from the top of its lungs, reaching to the skies!

    Fighting for some shred of hope!

 

The land is a vast utopia, or some say.

   My body is a temple

Supposed to keep evil villains at bay

   And yet, they still come.

Dark clouds fill my head

  Looking for that flower still

But I am afraid it lays dead

   But I will never give up.

No, I will never give up. 

The flower must survive!

..I will survive.
