Fight
I choose no fight
Portraying only composure
When you are less than happy
I feel trapped in this enclosure
Nothing can lift your darkness
No matter how I endeavor
Angry at the world
Aiming at whomever
Your words delivered
With such fervor
Those that hear them
Display a shiver
Eyes blinded in rage
Not seeing where your words fall
Nothing can stop this onslaught
We are heading for a brawl
My only defense is offence
Fight is necessary to survive
You’ve put me in a corner
There is no time to contrive
I will come out swinging
It is the only way I know
Whose voice is louder
Such pain to bestow
The battle of words continues
There are no winners or losers
It continues for several days
This championship of accusers
A road to nowhere
Why do we insist on going
Taking us down the dark path
The destination unknowing
When will it end
For it most surely should
I am all cried out now
It has done neither of us any good
