Denial
Denial came to me the other day,
It was Huge,
And Ugly,
Darkness covered him, shielded him, from any thinking but its own,

It stared right at me,

I was paralyzed with fear,
I couldn’t move,
I couldn’t fight back,
It looked straight down into my soul,
It let out an ear-splitting maniacal laugh,
I still couldn’t move,
It entered me,

I felt cold and empty,
I couldn’t fight back,
It was too powerful,
I had no choice,
I gave in,

It was like being a puppet,
Saying what I knew wasn’t true,
No control,
No help,
No acceptance,

Days went by,
Weeks,
Months,
All in denial,
Still couldn’t fight back,

This is it,
Denial is over,
Its coming out today,

I thought of acceptance,
I fought hard to get Denial out,
I was winning,
I could see it coming out of my body,
My soul,

It was out,
But not gone,
I had to finish it,
No more denial,

Denial looked at me,
I didn’t look back,
Not again,
Never Again,
I will not give in now,

Denial charged me,
It pinned me into the ground,
I looked in his eyes,
But no laugh this time,
Denial screamed in fear,

Acceptance flew out of my body,
My soul,

It was golden,
It was riding a horse,

Acceptance pulled out a sword,
Looked straight into Denial’s eyes,
And slashed him,

Denial let out a scream of pain,
It slowly vanished into nothing,
Denial was gone,
Acceptance won,

Acceptance looked into my eyes,
I felt warmth,
It entered my body,
My soul,

Denial was gone,
I had beaten Denial,
I accepted.

Anyone wanna guess what inspired me to write that?

Hey Thunder! I really liked the poem...much better than the mushed up version you posted on the chat.

I really liked the imagery and the use of battle metaphor. Continue with more poetry!

That was really pretty. Something everyone can relate to. Nice job

I love the images in this poem; very deep. Good job; your a really good writer!
