This War Inside Me

I'm fighting a war within myself
A war of sadness
A war of defeat

There's a war in my head
It's filled with rejection
Refusal
And dismissal

I'm on my own side
Alone in the silence
I will fight this war of mine

The silence is violent
It has no pity
No murcy whatsoever

I'm fighting this war
But it's not fighting back
But still I'm on the losing side
