Blinding Fist

Heart in my flesh beating rapidly,

brain in my mind constantly turning.

I close my eyes and for a brief moment

a sigh lets out, wanting to only hear

silence.

To ignore all punches that wounded my body.

A hand, life has been capable of creating,

such power, strength and reason.

 

Life is hard, we all know that.

It’s a given fact we all grow up and learn from.

But the ability of crashing confidence, self-belief,

is torturing our reason for life.

The stress that attaches with the package is outrages;

it shakes my muscles to pieces, the uncontrollable mind.

 

I welcome myself to a new world and I’m taking you with me.

It is a journey of struggles; not mine, not yours.

But, the existence of time.

I want to hold a fist, and defend myself.

To have reflex on every attack life flashes,

every swallow of terror will dry out.

We will stand tall, the worthless days are over.

I’m demanding, forcing; another punch to my cheek.

The hand – life has created, will form into a fist,

raising just above our eye level, stopping right in front of us.

How blind we were to see, a fist with a lifetime of

problems, stress, disbelief and struggles.

A breath to end all – bring it.
