Conquering the devil

My acts disgrace me, albeit hope is by my side

I decline the surrender, born to ride the tide.

My credence is Herculean, sanity let me down,

My thoughts seem alien and me a scary clown.

Don’t be demented, the time it is, to be precise

One man army, what I call, guides and stands by my side.

My intelligence was wary, the spirit was high

Down came a whisper to open my eyes.

Wait not, for the enemy, homegrown in thy soil

Assault, decimate and eradicate forever before the soul recoils.

Lucky devil, I am, to conquer my mind

Sanity is a treasure, supremely hard to find.
