Fighting Yourself


A fight not of traditional standards

Inside the head of the afflicted 

Two personalities battle for Dominance

One the good wants to be a hero

The other the bad wants to have prominence 

The constant fight is at a draw 

Neither side can get a foot hold

The bad isn't evil it's got good points and The good isn't an angel either it's got its dark thoughts truth be told

The sides aren't black and white they are grey

What could be accomplished if they'd work together no one could say

Instead they fight as the hidden Demon masters watch for enjoyment 

Together they could over come it

Instead they fight keeping themselves down and dormant
