Heeding the call

this one was written as a call out to those who are mentally ill like myself. on my own, i found myself really struggling with my problems and i know others are the same. this one is one i wrote to say 'united we are strong'


Call to arms

our footsteps echo on the walls of misery,

our tears feed the hunger of the beast inside.

Its fury rises like a cloud of napalm, scorching the face of happiness.

Crawl through the daggers, scrape through the broken glass, will we see the light or just live another day?

 Come forth and stand beside me, there is a path to take, stay strong and fight the battle, united we win the war.

The struggle within us confronts our very soul, unguarded and unprotected, we become the casualty.

Engulfed in darkness, portrayed in nothingness, will you lift the veil, or succumb to agony?

 Fall down or get back up, the choice is yours but as long as my hearts still beating, my sun will shatter the sky.

 This is your call to arms, let my words be heard, united we win the war.
