With One Word

    With one word

my future was killed

a hopeless void

of strength destroyed

With one word

I lost my voice

rain from my eyes

signaled my demise

With one word

I knew my fate

There was no fight

Resolve to divine light

With one word

I was diagnosed

speak my ailment

I know my assailant

but with one word

I learned to live

take charge of this world

all fears now unfurled

With one word

I did not perish

conquering that beast

his life has ceased

With one word

I now live on

I will not escape

but life awaits
