Giving In

It's a constant battle between you and your thoughts. Your mind turns against you, and you struggle with this endless game of tug o' war. It tells you lies and freezes your feelings so you're numb to the pain you cause yourself. You keep gasping for air under a tide of unbearable darkness but at time's spell that your mind has put you under wares off for a just a few seconds and all becomes clear. You plunge into a void of guilt and despair desperate for a change. The answer so clear yet so out of mind. You're too distracted from the pain to know that it is so easy to fix the problem. You begin to quit, never knowing you were a quitter, and you start to believe that it's too real not to be true. But like a lucid dream, you can control it, but only until you realize that it's a dream after all. Lies become truth in your head and the voices of others become silent, their words are gathered in dozens but yet they're so meaningless. What does it take to push past this never ending path of shadows keeping you from success? Shadows you have now created and made your reality.
