War Within

In the quiet of my mind, there’s a tempest brewing,

A battle with shadows, it’s a war I’m losing.

Fighting my own reflection, can’t find the way,

Echoes of a soldier who forgot how to stay.

Every step I take feels like a landmine,

Each choice I make, I’m caught in a bind.

Thoughts like bullets flying in the dark,

Can’t find the light, just a fading spark.

Images of what I was, clash with what I see,

A voice inside whispers, “When will you be free?”

I’m at war with myself, can’t find peace in the fight,

A soldier in the chaos, haunting sleepless nights.

Searching for salvation in a fractured mind,

But the armor that I wear just leaves me blind.

Each day’s a battlefield, scars I can’t hide,

Chasing a horizon, lost in the tide.

My dreams turn to ashes, my hopes fade away,

Caught in the crossfire of who I betrayed.

But deep in the rubble, there’s a voice inside,

“Rise from the ashes, you’ve got to decide.”

I’m at war with myself, can’t find peace in the fight,

A soldier in the chaos, haunting sleepless nights.

Searching for salvation in a fractured mind,

But the armor that I wear just leaves me blind.

So I’ll stand tall as the thunder roars,

Fear’s a fleeting shadow; I’m breaking down doors.

With every scar, I’m learning to live,

The war may be raging, but I’ve got more to give.

In the calm after storms, I will find my way,

No longer a soldier, I’ll plunge into the fray.

The war with myself will transform into light,

From ashes and ruins, I’ll emerge to ignite.
