The Battle Within
There is a constant battle raging inside of me
One that the naked eye simply cannot see
One side dawns a halo while the other wears it’s horns
The rotten side is winning while the peaceful side mourns
I try my best to nurture what little good I possess
But the bad seems to leech itself, over-rule and oppress
I find myself wondering if I am going about this all wrong
Maybe instead of fighting I should help them sing their song
Perhaps if I give in and feed what I keep depraved
I will no longer feel tired, I will no longer feel enslaved
There is a fine line to cross and I fear it is too late
What have I unleashed within just to satiate
So let me ask you this, what would you do?
Would you continue to fight the evil or let it break through
