Fight

The world passes you  by 
Looking through a window with no way out.
Watching and staring but never does it help.
Wishing someone would figure it out.
I know who I am 
Why do people see differently? 
I am an emotional roller coaster that just gains speed.
Some days are good. 
Other days are hard as hell. 
There’s a battle I fight inside.
You wouldn’t know it if you passed me on the street. 
That I am dealing with many things. 
I try so hard and never do I succeed.
some days I want to give in.
Other days I have the strength it takes.
To fight the war inside me.
