Inner Fight


there is a fight inside me

down deep down

where no one can see

as I cover my frown

 

the bad strikes a punch

while the good tries to duck

the good having to hunch

the bad feeling victorious for having struck

 

the good saying nice words the good smiles

the bad cowers

finding a different type of fighting style

the draining of his evil powers

 

The good has won or so you think

the bad fakes it whilst trying to plot

the good jumps with joy making his armour clink

but all the celebration is for nought

 

the bad jumps up in an unexpected hurry

making the good stare in startled awe

the bad moves faster than light making his shape blurry

thinking he is dreaming now seeing what he saw

 

wishing it was over I let out a cry

as they run through my body making me squirm

tears in my eyes as I look to the sky

I feel something evil as it washes over me like a germ

 

I grow the good bigger trying to defeat

my body shakes with a renewed vigor

thinking even more of my happiness and my life so sweet

as it grows bigger and bigger and bigger

 

I lay on the grass and roll to my side

I beckoned something that was hiding to lay by me trying as I might

it was the evil right there trying to hide

it had come out and was sacred but I touched it and it turned light

as all my pain flashed before my eyes

the evil was gone for good and this was my prize

to live without being hurt

to live to dream to not be pushed in the dirt

I was me and that's what I’ll be for all eternity
