Let There Be Light
Updated: Apr 21, 2018

Your mind is like a battlefield
Fighting to win a war started
So long ago in your soul
A soul full of fears that whisper
Like a constant mantra of negativity
You feel you are losing the fight
To sanity because insanity
Lurks around every corner
It’s quiet and loud at the same time
Telling you you are not enough
To defeat the monsters that live inside your head
That live inside the darkness of your mind
Then another small whisper
A verse creeps through from an
Ancient time before time existed
Words He said that turned darkness to light so
“Let there be Light”
Let the battlefield shine with the
Strength of a new found understanding
With knowledge that you are
In control of how this war ends
You are your own champion when
It seems like you are drowning in doubt
You may not have a lion’s roar
Instead your quiet strength and determination
Will lead you to victory someday
With evert step you take you
Fight against the poison that had settled in your core
After a lifetime of regular doses
Stand tall in your fight, this fight with your mind
Never give up or accept anything less than
Total destruction of the demons that plague you
Clearing the darkness from your path
As you sore through life full of
Light, love and infinite possibility.
