Revival
Battered by draining thought
Minutes of physicality wasting away
The ever pressing loss
The ever pressing reality
I collapse, an empty shell
An outer coating of a man
Internally vacant
Internally empty
Hope escapes me
Anger rides me
Defeated I lie
Defeated I die
Lift me from my grave
Position me with your hands
Pull me from the water
Pull me from the darkness
Make your victory in me
Battle the evil within
Shelter me from the pain
Shelter me from the decomposition
I rest here broken
Embattled and fatigued
Losing my will
Losing my being
Reverse my course
Steady my hand
Revitalize my mind
Revive me
