The Fight Inside
Poetry from the soul.
Life is a breeze or so it seems
Most days I want to chase my dreams
My mind is in chaos lost in the sea
I'm drowning in emotions that won't leave me be
The real me is a kind and gentle soul
I must find a way to have control
Pushing you away instead of pulling you close
Dousing the flames will make me comatose
I wish I was numb so I was free
Overanalyzing my emotions is slowly killing me
I listen to the rain and let it lull me to sleep
Tonight I refuse to let myself weep
I look around and you're nowhere near
Being alone I'm overwhelmed with fear
Anxiety causing my bones to shake and rattle
I must remember I'm not alone in this battle
With this disorder i cause everyone pain
I battle my mind daily because I have everything to gain
My life feels like it is passing me by
Give me a chance and maybe I can fly
Wait I'm already flying I'm so far up nothing can touch me
So far above that I wish that you could understand and see
It's beautiful what's actually inside
This thing my emotions always hide
Burning a hole inside my chest
Will my heart ever have a moment to rest
Wait it's not the truth
My emotions are over exaggerated and confuse you
Confuse you but wait... For me they're overpowering
It's like living in a storm that's always glowering
I put it in my words when I write
Take it all in and try to understand my fight
I try my best to fake a smile
In hopes I will feel better by going the extra mile
My life is not that bad but it's so extreme
I'm so happy that I have you on my team
