Dreaming big


I am strong today
I have won half the battle
And feel less pain
I have triumphed over the monster
Who seethes inside me 
Waiting for his chance to pounce
He has been beaten down
And must hide
He cannot steal my breath away
He cannot steal my energy today
He can only sit quietly 
In his dark corner
Simmering waiting for an edge
But I shall stamp him  down
For I want to fly again
Dream big and write
My stories begging to be told
Computer in lap
They begin to unfold
Happiness ensues.
