Own Worst Enemy

I'm my own worst enemy I don't need a frenemy Inner battles wage Trapped within my own cage I know there's light but it's getting hard to see I've been searching but still can't find me Once upon a time I used to be strong Where in the hell did it all go so wrong Dark thoughts are plaguing me got me feeling real low Self pity party train better riding solo I want to go up but I'm spiraling down Sounds of screaming echoes I can't drown Walking around with my head hung in vain I've got to find a way to end all this pain The sun is shining but I hide behind the clouds All of these voices they're getting too loud Please send my guardian angels fast I'm not sure how much longer I can last Dear Lord please restore my strength and give me something to believe in For all of my loved ones this is a battle I surely must win
