Self help: 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.
