I'm not in a hurry
to meet the better part of me
I mean it's a journey
a... self discovery
So...
take it slow,
after all
you can't get a glimpse
of your face in the mirror
if you run past it in terror
Try and...
Think of the bad
as a bitter poison
that we drink so that soon,
hopefully... we become immune
to the toxins in our own head
or risk further blood shed
the choice is yours
fight the wars in your mind
and maybe you'll find a better way
or live in your own turmoil
6 feet beneath the soil
This to me is the struggle to accept yourself as you are , and trying to contend with the things you hate about yourself that plague your mind , the truth is a bitter poison, and so is insecurity and any other battle you have raging on inside your head each day, but regardless of what the battle it is, the result is death if you lose, death of the version of you , you could become , death of your emotions or I'm some cases literal death. But not all wars need to be fought sometimes we can walk around the war zone.
