Now, I Stand
by Klara?, published before 2001?
My enemy is relentless,
pursuing me with every step.
My entire life has been spent like this,
running, running,
while my enemy chased me.
He has tortured me so much,
made me endure such trials.
I can still remember,
I can, what I have gone through.
The lost loved ones,
Friendships torn and broken,
path of devastation in our wake.
All because of him.
Slowly, I realize:
This cannot continue.
I cannot continue running my whole life, running until I am so weak of spirit he catches me.
I have had enough.
Enough suffering, running, and losing.
Enough.
Slowly, I turn face to my foe,
shock coloring his face,
determination filling my spirit.
No more pain, suffering:
Either way, it ends now.
Now, I stand.
