It is back and it's trying to dig in deep this time
i close my eyes, grit my teeth and prepare for battle
To lose this one will surely cost me my mind
a long year it's been,lots of suffering and pain
I feel a lone tear drop working slowly down my face
memories of the still painful wounds driving me insane
Already it has started,so hard to breath in this place
fingernails drawing blood in my tightly clinched hands
Feels like my eyes are being pushed out from behind
as my head is smashed and pounded on from all sides
Through the pain i manage to gasp weakly for air
i have shown it a weakness and it strikes swiftly
Chest pain so bad i roll over and fall from the chair
unseen hands grabbing at my neck,squeezing all around
It calls for me to quit fighting and to accept it
i struggle to call out but i cannot make a sound
As the darkness closes in,i vow never to quit
i will keep fighting till i'm six feet in the ground

Amazing
I absolutely love this poem. I can relate to it with almost every word. I think these three lines really caught my eyes:
"unseen hands grabbing at my neck,squeezing all around
It calls for me to quit fighting and to accept it
i struggle to call out but i cannot make a sound"
I never really saw it like that and it was well put. Sometimes I do feel like I'm being choked and there is no one there. Good job and hope to see more from you!
