Herself

She went to war against her foe, A battle until the end, A battle of spite against her will, A battle inside her head, You see, dying was what her brain wanted, To kill her from inside, But then she stood against her mind, And refused to f###ing die, She grew her venom, her malicious spite, Became fully self-aware, Ate good food, slept all night, Mastering self-care, She did everything her brain hated, Until all those thoughts had died, She beat her foe in her private war, When she overcame her mind.
