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
