Expecting less

Just begun is this battle
Lost how could It be
Strength in tears multiplied
By pain anger hurt love loss
In these hours such a simplified life has been well taught
Expecting less while giving all
Just begun is this battle
Inner turmoil
loved by many known by none 
Must I plunge on
Daylight seems so lost to the stillness of the night
Where nightmares and dreams are born
Must the darkness overwhelm the light?
Must this battle be a constant internal fight
Where must my heart reside to exist in utter delight
Must I plunge on daybreak to dawn
Strength in tears while lost in familiar fears
You tell me all it takes
to make my trophy clear yet al I see  a battle Lost without a fight
Strength in tears their are no winners here
so a tear is a tear.
