Deep within, a battle rages on.

A war where darkness is growing.

The light is dimming, almost gone,

Fear grips this war that is ongoing.

The enemies of my mind that exist in my soul

whispers a subtle deceit.

They prevent my soul from becoming whole.

They are the fuel of my deepest defeat.

My heart, a fortress, is under attack,

The armor of hope is worn and torn,

I have lost the innocence that I can never get back,

The only thing left to do is mourn.

Depression seeks to destroy me,

The fire is slowly burning out.

I must fight the war to be free,

I must regain the hope I cannot be without.

I need to fight the urge to give up.

Awakening the warrior within.

This war within I must disrupt,

Taking the barriers down, letting healing begin.

The battle is fierce, but I will not surrender.

It is the silence that continues this war.

I need to take down the pretender,

And let the truth finally pour.
