| The Battle Over The Mind --- By: Kellie Jo Smyers She stands all alone over the bloody battle field that is her mind- She is the warrior; she is the opposition She is the defender ; she is the attacker. she is fighting a bloody war... Yet you see no mess. She is looking in the distance , but she sees nothing. How can it be that she still smiles? Her internal fight is forever on-going! You can see when the sword has just struck a stone... She tears only slightly, but brushes them aside, and covers her face in her arms so she can hide. So much always seems wrong, and yet when you speak , and seems she is not listening... she smiles at just the right time... And you can tell she understood. But then it fades, slowly.... slowly.... it's gone... and she's back to fighting the malicious thoughts... |
