I’m battling demons I do not know
The ones you can never see
They seem to be always winning
Keep getting the better of me
My mind, it’s so weary from battle
My thoughts, they cannot get straight
I wish my life was just simple
But complexity remains my true fate
You’d think I’d have it together
With family to help, if they could
But no, my life’s just a mess
And it seems my choices, no good
My heart, it is in the right place
Always ready to fight a good fight
But my mind, it does no more pushing
It rolls over and says then good night
If the two could just come together
Then maybe I’d be sure to succeed
But alas, they always fail to align
While my heart is left there to bleed
So, these demons that seem to persist
Push me and poke and they prod
They weaken my very own will
They’re crowding me back to the sod
They’re burying my every attempt
I almost feel like just giving in
But then I’d have nothing at all
Because I’d let them all win
So, though my mind is now mush
My heart will carry my true
I know somehow I will beat them
If it’s the last ting that I ever do
