The war has returned The darkness snuck in with its lies The thoughts in my head have begun to be swayed Once more, my mind is at war with itself My body and heart are the battlefield I’m ravaged; left exhausted, scarred, and broken The battle settles for a moment The fortress of my mind begins to rattle It feels as though every thought inside is attempting to claw its way out They see the corruption; they know it’s a lie Yet still, they eventually succumb A mental plague of pandemic scale How long will it last this time? What casualties will I suffer? I dream of the day that war ends for good The day that the darkness comes and goes without taking residence How do I let love in if I have nowhere left for it to live?

The Unending War
The war has returned The darkness snuck in with its lies The thoughts in my head have begun to be swayed Once more, my mind is at war with itself My body and heart are the battlefield I’m ravaged; left exhausted, scarred, and broken The battle settles for a moment The fortress of my mind begins to rattle It feels as though every thought inside is attempting to claw its way out They see the corruption; they know it’s a lie Yet still, they eventually succumb A mental plague of pandemic scale How long will it last this time? What casualties will I suffer? I dream of the day that war ends for good The day that the darkness comes and goes without taking residence How do I let love in if I have nowhere left for it to live?
For those that go through this, just know that you're not alone.
