Balancing the present
with focus on the future
darkness from the past
threatens to blot out
all that is held dear
bracing self
for the long battle ahead
there is no knight
with a tasseled sword
to slay the demons
that threaten
the flesh is weak
wants to surrender
the soul not ready yet
so onwards one has to march
there is no courage in giving up.
Very well written.

Brilliant. Who needs a glant knight. I bet you can slay dragons all on your own.
