Tug of War

Tug of War

I’m in a game of tug of war

I try to move toward the light

Only to be pulled into the dark’s roars

It feels like a constant fight

There are moments when I’m ahead

And some where I’m falling

I know it’s a game in my head

But that doesn’t stop me from bawling

The rope goes back and forth

There still is no winner

I’m over this obstacle course

But won’t stop until I glimmer

I’m in a game of tug of war

I recognize at times the dark will win

But the light will settle the score

And the moving forward will begin
