Whos in control


Disaster strikes the day

Leaving the smell of defeat

Two side sword battle for control

Deep inside of me

 

One side stands its ground

In truth, freedom, and happiness

It takes its stance

And faces its opponent

 

The other side takes a chance

In lies, chains, and depression

It takes its stance

And faces its opponent

They face each other

But neither moves

They don’t really want to fight

But what else can they do

 

One cannot remain in control

While the other sits back

They know their fate

And embrace it with deep regret

 

 

Happiness takes aim

And raises his sword

Knowing he must defeat his brother

To control of the host

Depression sets in

Realizing there is no other way

Grabs his sword and raises his gaze

Embracing what he must now face

 

Two brothers fight to the death

For everlasting control of the human host

Destiny no longer favors these two

As the swords begin to clash

 

Who will win?

Who will die?

They both share a look in their eye

Of joy for the taking of life

 

 

 

Happiness strikes

And Depression defends

Happiness falls

                                                As Depression kicks

                               

 

The fight continues day and night

While they both try to stay alive

The host just stands by watching

To see who the final master will be.

 

I am the host and nothing more

They fight within each day

They shall continue

Until all slain

 

We remain together

Throughout our lives

We need each other to balance out

And create the whole
