Fight Or Flight

Fight or flight happened again today
Don't know why or what to say 
Anger deep inside my mind
Not really seeing, feeling blind

So I went for a wander
To clear my head
Far over yonder
Here's what the voices said

Your better than this you are great
Get on the phone ring your mate
This is just one of them blips
Walk on son get outta them dips

The other voice telling me to quit 
Making me feel like s**t
Laughing loudly deep inside
This is when I sat and cried

It's not very easy knowing your wrong
But I had to remain strong
Anger, sadness is what I felt
Sat on the grass wanting to melt

I've survived worse this I know 
Recovery may be really slow
I'm ready to fight this head on
Positive thoughts and staying strong

Dont just ask "how am I?"
Otherwise I will make you cry
The reason is I'm not good
Miss those lost from brotherhood

Listen to me and what I say
Empaphize don't run away
I need your help this is for sure
Then together we'll find the cure
