These Things

Sometimes I think 
What can I do? 
Before I sink 
What can I change? 
Within my self 
I cannot change what is true 

I cannot hide the weaknesses, 
in my self too 
Nor can I conquer, 
such self loathing 
I live with such things 
What can I do? 

The angriness inside, 
a bitter pill to swallow 
You feel that there is no tomorrow 
Only here and now 
You tried.... 
and how! 

You cannot try, 
to hide it all 
You must get by, 
before you fall 

Such weaknesses, 
I found 
Such strength , 
other things too 

I cannot hide the strengths, 
in my self too 
They will conquer 
My weaknesses... 
This is true 

For, true things 
lie in the heart 
Beating true... 
I, will never fall 
For, these things ... 
Conquer all
