Fight or Flight
The world crumbles before her eyes
Into an empty pit of nothingness,
With nightmares haunting her steps, whispering lies.
Fight! comes the steady call, beating her 'round her ears;
Without hope, without path in site, she fights
Thrashing and kicking to beat back all fear.
Crushed into pain, she flees to hide out the day,
Nothing but a ghost, her consciousness leaves
Lost in a foreign land, she looks for her way;
Fight! comes the call and her consciousness returns
To continue her mad trample through life
Voice screaming, "All is broken, no place to turn,
Fight till the end; you must never give in."
She halts amid her ruin and glory
Peaceful silence reigning through the din.
The world calms, entropy losing its hurry
And then she sees her violent shadow
Ready to engulf her in its fury.
Then, she finally sees to her profound dismay,
That none but herself has stood in her way.
