The Peace We All Need

Within me a battle wages on Between true change and pure acceptance As my flaws scream we want war My soldiers of truth are dying off The weapon of choice is blame Everyone but me Raids on my self worth ocastraed with in the ranks of reason I ponder a battle plan a way to win the war on me I bring the guns I bring the fear I rain down the negativity She was there to raise me up But the resonbility should have not fell on her My victory was never meant to be raised with her white flag The concepts I see now are realities of the past Manifested by a much stronger enemy my self esteem The scars of this self inflicted war Runs free within the hurt of all who try to be close To make sense of my demise is to search way down deep into my pit of rage There can be no peace talks not anymore Because I can no longer convince the otherside of her That I have changed When this war rages on within me How can I create a peace for her I can't and this is my true weakness My own fate is in my hands now not hers. I must now make it my greatest strength To become the peace we all need
