Hands tremble in humid heat 

My heart beats, waiting to cease 

I sigh and my head bows low 

Getting closer to the door 

I’m afraid, yet not content 

With the peace that dawns upon my skies 

I walk, bit by bit every second 

To see the look painted in my eyes 

I’m afraid, yet I contend  

To participate in a battle of fate vs life 

I hope, and in my vision is a glow 

And then in darkness there is light 

I come back, knowing I might lose 

When temptation grows, will I refuse? 

My heart beats again, then time stills 

A moment more, and it will spill 

Braving my spirit in a flickering pipe dream 

I fail to hold back, and there’s my plight 

Something sinister seeks to blend into reality 

I look into it and it looks back, cursing my sight
