A Battle Within

Reflective of the old you
Suspicious of the new view 
Embracing the present 
Its flaws and all  
Confronting your spirit 
Cleansing it with pureness 

Embracing the highs 
Accepting the lows
A fight with temptation is a fight with the mind 
A cocktail of encouragement mixed with focus 
No prize at the end 
A battle within
