Strength

Through the night that shrouds me
And the dark that encompasses my soul
I always try my best to look and see
Through that desolate hole

In the many perils and trials Ive faced
I have always stood without shame
And through god-given grace
Ive not once fell from pain

With the heavy burden upon my heart
I have not given in to rest
Even through the upstarts
Of wars in my chest

It matters not the fires lit
Nor the arrows flung
They may all take their hit
But the battle is already won

    This is a well written piece.
    The rhyming seems a tad forced in some areas, but other than that, it's great.
    Thank you so much for entering and good luck.
