Unwanted thoughts in my mind

A fight that exists in me,

making it hard to unwind.

Sleep evades me tonight

stirring within a living fear.

A shadow that always hovers

and keeps me near.

The world outside

seems so cold.

Creating a storm inside

that is so old.

The emptiness in my heart

cannot break through.

It leaves me feeling lost

and not knowing what to do.

It whispers lies in my mind

that tell me I am alone.

I try to find a reason to fight,

but the enemies within will not let go,

causing me many sleepless nights.
