Bearing

I tried I gave it My best fight Yet The demons Remain alive Give me a minute To rest Afterall Giving one's best At vain attempts Of winning Shadow boxing Against self-imposed Suffering and sinning Wears out The life force Of even the most Divine As I catch My Breath Replenishing What keeps me Alive I will soon Rise Not for another fight But with the Acceptance In my heart That we each are What we are
