Fight or Flight 13-02-09

Stand and fight or take off in flight Is this my personal right? Would it matter if I was no more? Lifeless like driftwood on the sandy shore My body shakes with terrifying panic Imminent attack my heart beats gigantic In me does anyone believe? Or is it the way I perceive Does it take courage to fight? Or would it be easier soaring in flight Fighting negative thoughts in my mind My strength absent, I’m flying blind Even in my dreams I can no longer see Doubting will I ever make it through all the debris I struggle to breathe My mind in conflict it so wants to leave Of my life I feel cheated Body crushed broken defeated As I crash and burn I strain to see the light Intestinal fortitude apply insight In my reflection I stop and stare Gasping as my lungs expand with air My subconscious screaming from afar Focus and realise who you are When you think you just can’t get up one last time Recover strength from deep within your heart and climb Stand tall, place footprints in the sand Faithful to myself I must stand In me and mine I will not quit One day at a time bit by bit Chisel that driftwood into shape My vision is mine alone to create In myself I must believe Body and soul not to deceive I make a conscious choice to stand and fight Dreaming of the day I will glide triumphant in flight.
