Waging many battles, can I win the war
I just saw a quote
"Monsters are real, ghosts are real too
they live inside us, and sometimes, they win."
I ask again, can I win the war?
The one raging within my being this very second
Conflicting, tearing, beating me every moment
Battle One, can I stop being human
Haha no! Of course not!
So embrace it, you lose this battle
Battle Two, self hatred
Well this is an interesting one is it not?
I think yes I can win, a long angst filled battle will it be
One setting me on a path to self discovery
Perhaps the bloodiest yet, we will see
Battle Three, expecting others to cure me
Be realistic we are all human
One man cannot lay that burden upon another
Time will tell if my own company can mend me
Battle Four, I harbor a Dark Passenger
No, not Malevolence, he is my friend
This fiery demon is the General of my opposition
He will not go down without a fight
Fueling all my darkest most lonely hate filled thoughts
Arrow to the chest misses
Dark Passenger will fight me to the end of the war
We shall see who is left standing
Battle Five, addictions
Enough said
Other battles must be won before that one can ever be fought
As weak as that may make me
But at least I know I am...
Battle Six, utmost failure
Sitting in dark rooms, never furthering my future
Pathetic I have been
This battle, yes I can win
For I crave knowledge above all else
Some peace can be found in that
The battles I wage are endless
Let us see if I can win the war
