Grateful for the Abyss

Created: April 5, 2023, 12:30

To the monster who tried to swallow me whole,
I’ll throw roses in, a gesture of my soul,
For though you tried to break me, I remain strong,
And in my heart, love will forever belong.

I refuse to let your darkness consume my light,
And though the struggle was hard, I won the fight,
For even in the depths of your sinister abyss,
I found a way to rise above, and I will not miss.

So thank you for the challenge, monster, dear,
For it’s through the hardships that we conquer fear,
And now, with roses in hand, I’ll say goodbye,
For your power over me has come to die.

May you find your own light in the darkness of night,
And may you learn to embrace love, not fright,
For though you tried to swallow me whole,
I am stronger now, and I’ll forever keep my soul.

Dancing with Monsters

In the fight against the monsters within,
I fear that I may lose and let them win,
For the darkness lingers and whispers in my ear,
And I struggle to keep my sanity clear.

The abyss stares back at me with empty eyes,
And I wonder if I’ll succumb to its lies,
But I must remember to keep my heart pure,
And let the light within me continue to endure.

For if I become the monster that I fight,
Then what is the point of striving for what is right?
So I must be vigilant and stay true,
To the person I am and what I must do.

And when I find myself on the edge of the abyss,
I’ll throw roses in as a symbol of bliss,
For even in the darkness, I’ll find a way to thrive,
And show gratitude to the monster who did not survive.

For the struggles we face make us stronger in the end,
And through the darkness, we learn to comprehend,
That even in the midst of our deepest despair,
There is always hope, and love, and care.

So let us fight the monsters with all our might,
And remember that we must always shine our light,
For in the end, we’ll emerge victorious and free,
And throw roses into the abyss, saying “thank you” with glee.
