They say time heals,
as if pain knows when to go away.
As if waiting were enough.
But nothing truly leaves.
There’s war inside my mind,
I build a shield, a wall of defense,
trying to hold back the thoughts that keep fighting me within.
I am trying to survive the battle;
my own mind wages against me.
My thoughts become soldiers, lying in the corners of my mind.
I will heal,
but I will always be the one who remembers the war.
