I'm stretching all the time
to repose within light's peace
crawling away from a darkness
that would seek to pain my world.
Some days it matters not how hard
I try to run away
that darkness will encompass me
in voices that taunt and tease.
Voicing words that I'm a waste
not worthy of this world
as fighting ebbs the strength away
I succumb for momentary silence.
Yet other times I push away
and see that spark of light
but then my strength of mind is drained
as my thoughts abound in fear.
This daily battle of the mind
may be insanity
the struggle still continues
as peace reigns sposmadically.

This was a great write. I loved the picture as well! I think this will do very well in the contest. However, there was one line, that to me, sounded wrong, now, I could be mistaken. But I am just going to tell you anyway.
"I succumb for momentary silence."
I think it should be "I succumb to momentary silence" You usually succumb to things, don't you? I've been thinking about whether I am right or wrong about this for so long that I am beginning to confuse myself, actually, I already have. Haha. I hate it when that happens. Great write though. And good luck in the contest!!
