By Patrice W. Williams

SOUL OF A SURVIVOR   Never-ending seems horrible, a slave to the trade Sad and challenging seems horrible but beautiful in its’ own right Raging battlefield, The opponent seems to never surrender Fighting a war, risking not coming out alive Maybe ending it in wars personal archive Strained and harsh, asphyxiating air mixed through the clouds Like dry ice stuck to my skin Burning fire, no idea how to put it to rest My personal turmoil, pressure cooking, caving all around me Facing my fears knowing my God has listening ears Devil sent up in a new disguise Disregarding he was embarking on a child of God The beginning of my healing, as I feel his presence  My broken pieces mending Fighting this battle but not beyond endurance Less tears flowing, no longer at a standstill Wisdom gained as my creativity evolved My vision clearer, no more weeping in sorrow My healing heart on bended knees Dim light as I strained to see through the fog Voice faint from echoes of my own voice Maintaining my sanity, stopping to just listen To the noiseless air Amazing it is, still in time, silent but not Writing, my air, my outlet, my tranquil time My thoughts running ramped at maximum speed The message is everything Nothing left unsaid, filling every breach Balancing my strength Totaling my sum to everlasting faith…..Patrice-PoeticLyricist     Poetically,   Patrice Watley Williams, Founder  http://www.wearitgirlwigs.org amazon.com/author/patricewatleywilliams Outreach Committee Chair/http://www.iwillsurviveinc.org 678-478-7357 ***to purchase my books click any link below: http://www.amazon.com/My-Pen-Speaks-Poetic-Vibes/dp/160911325X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313849129&sr=8-1 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/e/9781609113254/?itm=1&USRI=my+pen+speaks http://www.booksamillion.com/p/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/9781609113254?id=5058590506127   Thank you for allowing me the freedom to be expressive as my Caterpillars blossom into Butterflies!!!
