Waging War With Myself

With my bags and weapons packed I am now ready for Whatever it is I throw at me In this, my one man war On this bloody battlefield Where there is only I Bravery is in high need When it is to myself that I must die I have waged this vicious war For countless amount of years From the dark jungles deep in doubt Through the rivers of many tears So many times I've been wounded Waving the white flag Once again a prisoner of myself In a battle I seldom understand I know this enemy intimately Yet I'm still taken by surprise When what I think is best for me Is his main disguise The difference this time on the front line Is I'll be holding steady When I come face to face with me, the enemy I'm now prepared and ready
