Life-defining Battles

Fighting my lonely battles,
With unnamed, unseen enemies,
A pain too hard to endorse,
A stifling, breathless pain,
Demanding me to quit;
I seek my dark, cozy cocoon,
Darkness begets comfort,
Alluring into more darkness….

Fighting my lonely battles
Between
An inviting, dark, comfortable, cozy cocoon
And an yearning to walk in the light;
A stifling, breathless pain,
I wage a desperate battle, with all my life,
To emerge out triumphant!

‘These fights keep me going,’
I realize
A part of the nature’s grand plan,
Like the waxing and waning of moon,
If not for these, I shall be long dead,
A nauseating, stagnant death,
I shall continue my lonely battles,
I need these battles-
Battles that define my life!
