I need to have strength again,
oh how can it be so,
that I have to battle,
this timeless great foe?

Why must my courage,
always be a test,
to reach down and find,
me at my best?

What if I'm not up to it,
this challenge I have in store,
what if I grow weary,
not strong like before?

Should I just ignore it?
Will it go away?
Shant I have tomorrows,
without a price to pay?
