With Nothing To Lose

With Nothing To Lose

What demons do you fight

During the day and during the night?

Are they far or are they near?

Do they stifle your ability to see or desire to hear?

Could you say they are friend for foe?

And if they held you would they let go?

Could you ask if they mean harm?

Would they steal the sheep from your farm?

And if they’re unwilling to listen

Just know in sunlight the truth with glisten

Upon you and your dreams

As dark as the present tense seems.

For the demons serve no other deed

Than to deny your soul be freed.

The fear we most anticipate

Would hardly abate

Without the mysterious demonic storm

From which, heroically born,

Will ultimately serve as your victorious muse;

So you could learn to play with nothing to lose.
