The Tuesday Transcriber

Fall

Keep it down in there!
My demons writhe within.
Lock down tight, say a prayer.
Let the torture begin.

The dark is hard to beat
when you're struggling to stand.
So, maybe to fall, admit defeat,
is the only way I can?

My only resolve is lost,
wandering in the mist of doubt.
But could I ever be host
to a thing I lived without?

And on and on,
and round and round,
till our days are gone
and we all fall down.
