Why Do I Fight

Fading the blackness

With explosion of light

Eating away chaos

As sanity regains it sight

 

Righteousness erodes deep trenches

Through evils thick crust

As promise wields hopes hammer

And pounds it to dust

 

My fight has been long

A grueling battle it has been

For my quest to be wholesome

And free of all sin

 

But my resolve grows weary

And my will is getting weak

Just a balance between the two

Is all I now seek

 

How can there be a victor

In this ongoing fight

When it takes darkness

For there even to be light.

I'm in love with this poem! I think it's my favorite I've ever read, and if not it's really high on the list. Your wording was incredible and I loved the rhyme scheme. It spoke to me so much! Really loved it!
