Struggle

Do you know what it's like to desire
A substance that's as deadly as fire

Your mind inflicted with constant demand
Relentless memory giving command

Destruction and damage a price to pay
Moments of glamour through out the long day

Choose your course, stay strong til the bitter end
Vicious cycle of conflict, you ascend

Hi folks, I'm a software development manager. I've worked with computers most of my life. I write a poem a day about whatever strikes my fancy. I hope they make you smile.
