The Wars That Rage Within Our Souls

The wars that rage within 
our souls,
Makes me wonder if we will ever 
know peace.
Conflicting emotions continue to go 
back and forth,
Is it anger for others or love we
do seek?

If one only knew pain their whole
entire life,
How does one find the true meaning
of love.
If one only knew the coldness of 
the moon,
How does one find the pure warmth of
the sun?

Choosing the heavenly light over the
bitter darkness,
Is honestly a very tough decision to
really make.
When the world is full of death
and destruction,
And so many choose not to love but
to hate.

So don't give up and never let evil win,
The final battle for your soul is about
to begin.
Keep wickedness away and don't let yourself
cave in,
Seek God and your heart will love and
live again.
