Conquering Chaos

Conquering Chaos

The conversation ends,
Silence surrounds me,
Panic rises, consuming me.
No comfort, no help in sight.

Unable to breathe,
The voices are pulling me in,
Taking control, mocking me.
I am drowning, losing control.

Given only two choices,
I chose my path too soon,
I was wrong, I cannot continue.
I fall, too weak to keep fighting.

My vision begins to fade,
I scream for it to end,
Pleading to be set free,
As everything goes black…

But in the darkness,
One ember still remains,
Burning in the shadows of my mind,
One small shred of hope in the despair.

I cling to this fragment,
Struggling to hold on, to keep going,
Knowing this is my last chance,
My last opportunity for redemption.

Somewhere deep inside,
I know I cannot give in,
I must keep fighting every battle,
Until the war has been won.

So, I will find that inner strength,
That ability to overcome my mind,
In order to conquer the chaos,
And be the person I know I am inside.
