~The War Within ~

Each of us has a story
A book with many titles
My story is battling
My demons inside my head

Running from the past
That wants to break me
And kill my spirit dead
I find solace in my world

Of darkness and insanity
I am the warrior queen
That has to fight a war
Within my dark walls

Inside my head I'm broken
Each night that descends
I know I have to put my
Armor on and battle

Never let the demons win
I know they are my sadness
They are my darkest days
I know they are my pain

That agonizing ache that
Consumes me in my despair
Suffocating my last breath
Sometimes I do find serenity

Inside my dark disturbing
Rooms in far corners
Inside my head I just let
The emotions play out

I just close my eyes and drift
Away because in the silence
I fade into my solitude of
My darkness and pain

I fall into myself because
I know myself there holding
On forever to a past that
Won't let me go

I open my eyes catch my
Breath I live through
Another day battling
My war within.
