The Battle Within

Anyone, who says they've never fought, is a lie, Because everyday, everyone has a battle, inside, Some of you are winning this battle, and that's good for you, But many are losing, stop me if this isn't the truth, Whether you feel like a failure or your life is a sin, It's a constant struggle not, to lose the battle within, Because my vision of the future is getting harder to see, Clouded by the fact that I am, not what I should be, Feeling dumb I've been doing the work of a fool, Trying to build something without even using my tools, and I'm crawling, slowly trying to the end, Man, I wanna start, but I don't know where to begin, I've faced the facts man I wanted to touch the sky, But with broken wings I am losing the will to fly, Moving forward blind, I am leaving my dreams behind, Wishing I, was in a film so I could press rewind, But wait, press play this movie could be great, Somehow, someway, I could escape this fate, Three-sixty, turn all of these problems around, Put out the flames, before they burn my dreams to the ground, Because you know that they say, where there's a will there's a way, I can pull through I have the will to fight everyday, I see the starting line I'm going and my goal is the winning, And I ain't stopping even if I hear a fat lady singing, But now I gotta stop, just to catch my breath, now tell me you're passing, because everyday is a test, Maybe your dad left your mom and you're feeling the pain, Let this be a lesson don't let your children go through the same, I know it's hard living life, when your pockets are empty, Asking why should I wear these clothes, when they don't even fit me, Well catch the bird of opportunity, soaring up high, Why would you let it fly by or shoot it out of the sky, Trying not to cry, because you know you're dying inside, How could you run from yourself, when there is no where you can hide, And if you did, you would be a coward at best, How could you live, don't you feel that pain in your chest! Now that I'm done, I don't really care what I win, The only thing I want to win, is the battle within!
