My Abyss
By Tom Stanley





Time and again I've fought my demons off,
Yet still they rage. 
Vampiric in nature,
Like a leech on my heart,
Draining my resistance, my will,
And still I battle on. 
Oh, I will fight,
Fight. 
I will not die,
Die. 
I refuse to become
The next victim of my abyss. 
So I still fight,
Fight.
And I stand tall,
Tall. 
Holding my head up high,
Staring that beast right in the eyes.
