I Will Fight

Snapping at my heals;

Like some ill tamed dog.

Wanting to grab hold;

Teeth - the shackles buried in skin.

Cutting down until bone;

Bleeding out all that is left.

Then pull me down;

In to the ranks of the depressed.

The dejected, hopeless;

Suicidal.

I will fight this.

Tooth, claw and nail.

There is no Cold Man at the door.

The sun is shining.

The music plays.

The words are written,

So Mote it be.
