High as a star in the night sky
Just watching life storm by
Awaiting the event of my demise
Continuing to fight 1000lbs of pressure per strike
My body and ground continue to meet
Dazed and confused
Struggling to get up and on my feet
2 steps forward then it’s 6 steps back
My faith diminishes more and more with each hit
I ponder is this the end
Should I say so long my friend until we meet again
Unable to find the light at the end of the tunnel
I will keep trekking through this gloomy path throwing jabs and uppercuts at the monster in my sight
The same monster that I sleep with at night
The same monster whose deathly grip I cannot escape
The same monster who terrifies and makes my life quake
That monster that resides in my mind
And that monster is I
