Fighting Dragons

Fighting dragons

Fighting dragons inside my head
Each step an effort
The smallest task
A mountain to climb

Days vary
From steady and sure
Others a struggle
Every moment a chore

An invisible backpack
Weighing me down
A poisoned chalice
Drunk to the dregs

To do lists undone
Dreams choked in a tangle of briars
More clouds than sun
Barely walking where once I'd run

Adrenal fatigue
An incideous foe
Humbling me
Bringing me low

Grace for the moments
When I'm not enough
In the squalor and darkness
I'll find my song

Of praise
Prayer and worship
Through weakness and trial
Broken not beaten

This ongoing trial
Ebbing and flowing
The rhythm of my life
Strength will come

Fighting my way out of the mud and the mire
Confused confounded
Hard pressed
Not undone

Upheld
Carried
Trusting
In Him
