The Daily Battle

Yesterday, I was on top of the world

I felt like I conquered Mt. Everest

Or won the Olympics medal of gold

It was a feeling that tastes the sweetest

Today, I am on the brink of despair

I am barely breathing and barely living

Every little thing is a bother

I am choking and my heart is screaming
The pressures of life is too much to bear

Is there a better tomorrow? 

What lies ahead after the sunset?

I wish to wake up to that same yesterday

But today makes me want to burrow

To hide from the haunting glare of despair 

Or turn my back and simply walk away

                                                                 


My heart broken

My spirit is downcast

But a glimmer of hope awaken

The buried dream of my past

My dead soul enlightened 

With a soft whisper from the King of Atlas

He held my hand and said, "Arise my warrior"

You must fight the daily battle.
