Battle Of The Mind

There Is A Fight 

An Intense Battle

Going On In My Mind

There Is Saddness And Hate

They Fuel My Depression

There Is Love And Care

They Fight To Keep Me Sane

But The Problem Is

They Are Losing 

Saddness Overtakes Me

Shelds Me From Love

Makes Me Insane 
 

Im Not Even Sure Im In Control

Im On Auto Pilot 

My Mind A Battlefield 

In Which A Losing Battle Is Fought

So I Sit 

And Let The Battle Rage

But How Do I Beat Saddness 

I Dont Know

So I Just Wait For A Miracle To Happen

But Nothing Does So I Look Down The Long Barrel

A Short Flash And The Battle Is Done

 

They Bury Me In The Soft Wind

The Priest Calls Out For Forgiveness

They Lower Me Down Into The Ground 

And As They Do 

A Battle Begins

In My Mothers Mind
