The War Within
January 15, 2012
battling and biting and running and spewing
what is this misery I cannot overcome?
its demons and chemical reactions
and monsters and fairies
choking and breaking and faking and sobbing
what is this light free lie?
getting better and overcoming
turning more to stone with every step
rushing and gnawing and hurting and lurking
where have I gone and how do I find the soul that left me
and has the power to unbind?
