At War With Myself
Fighting a battle that I may never win,
Just seems to break me a little more with every breath I take in.
There's a monster inside me that tries to pry it's way through and make me weak.
No one really knows that it's help I seek.
I can feel it clawing at my soul, breaking down the wall it's behind.
I search for a path to get away from it, but it's just something I can't find.
There's loved ones everywhere to help me, but I can't find the words to ask.
I have to hide the tortuous pain and tears behind this treacherous mask.
I fight to keep it all in, I fight to be the happy person I should be.
I fight against it all because this isn't the person I want people to see.
