I'm thrown to the ground as if i were a doll
My head tells me to stay down but my heart says it's worth the fall
i get back up and i stumble towards my foe
I'm hit in the gut and down i go
I was wrestling with love, but he won every time
now i'm wrestling another but his will is bigger than mine
putting up a fight but it's just no use
i'm wrestling with my heart and i can't get loose
My third opponent is twice my size and has but one name
i can't beat him either and it's driving me insane
he tells me things that will happen and i try to cover my ears
he makes real the worst of my dreams and brings out all of my fears
this monster i speak of is lurking inside us all
this monster will try to hurt us and kick us when we fall
the only way to beat this demon is to see him eye to eye
there is no point wrestling the truth
Because the truth can never lie.

This was absolutely amazing! I loved reading it. It was very well written. I liked the part the only way to beat this demon is to see him eye to eye.

Awesome! I liked this one! I dunno, there's just something...[incomprehensible BLAH] about it! I loved it! Awesome job!

thanks for entering this in the contest. It was a very well-thought poem, and a great concept. Everybody can wrestle the truth, but in the end the "truth will set you free." The metaphorical idea of "wrestling" the truth was also a very good choice. Good luck, and best wishes.
Again thank you for entering this into the contest.

I do not agree with "there is no point wresting the truth because the truth can never lie." Because to different people theirs a truth, and even if that truth is a lie to you. It is true to someone else. people can fight the truth, I do it all the time...even if it is unknowingly

Oh my god! This is such a good poem. Why must you write so well. With each poem I get even more jealous. Since it was so amazing 3 of the clappy guys are in order. It is true that we fight with love ,our hearts and the truth. Why must they be so powerful. It is them that will be the death of us all. I'm convinced. However I will live til they take me down. See this kind of poem is inspirational for me . If i read a poem I am then inspired to write of the same thing in a different way. Grrr I wish you weren't so god damn good at poetry.
ok enough of this comment.

It's a really powerful write. Not exactly what I needed to read at the moment (it made me sad), but I good dose of reality never hurt anyone right? Lol. Either way, great poem. Great job... All the usual stuff. Lol. Realizing that reality is unavoidable is a gift. Remember to keep it and use it wisely.
