A Pantoum: Fighting to Stay

 

 
Fighting to stay
The thought of leaving fills me with despair
Its not my time to fly away
Determined I fight to remain at bay.
The thought of leaving fills me with despair
Living never felt so great
Determined to remain at bay. 
Unwillingly I wait at the gate.
 
Living never felt so great
I stand my ground
Unwillingly I wait at the gate
Strength pours from my spirit, I found
 
I stand my ground
Its not my time to fly away
Strength pours from my spirit, I found
Fighting to stay
