I've felt that tug of war before... you win that fight
when you let the demons fall flat on their face and choose to breathe another day.

You really do dig deep within your poetry... very powerful.

Many fellow travelers here Brenda,

we welcome you with open arms :-)

This is an extremely powerful piece; I know many have felt that tug of war before, and for some it's a constant tug of war, and I sympathize with that. Looking forward to reading more from you! (:

Great poem. We are all here together :)
