Like A Spartan

Disgruntled is what I feel this morning
I tried to sleep but my eyes just won't shut
One million thoughts raced through my mind
As though all trying to catch my attention
I could not immediately identify what it was
I had a glass of wine earlier with my girl
I tried to talk about it but the feeling did not go
I wondered why my heart would be in such a state
Disturbed, discontented, dissatisfied and restless
It came to me this morning
I tried to open my eyes to the sun outside
It felt like the battle for Sparta
Fighting for territory...
But I won...I opened my eyes
You see the sun's rays don't take corners
The come straight
They don't bend
They come direct
The feeling that is within is hitting my heart directly
There is no other way of dealing with it except for me to accept
We are who we are because we agree to be who we are!
I refuse to be down and out
I refuse to be spent by these feelings
So this morning, I stand strong and ready to face my demons
Like the men of Sparta who fought in the fortress with Sous and his men
Proud to bear the pain and struggle without a cry
So I fight for my heart
I will find serenity in the end
And I will come back and tell you all about it...
...I promise.
