"My Bloodiest Battle"

Location

I am wise and I am insightful.

I am complicated and I am confused.

I am scared and I am alone.

I see the answers...but I want to fail.

 

I pledge to be free,

but the key I cannot find.

 

I am ever seeing,

yet I am more blind everyday.

 

I want to fix them all, 

...myself not included.

 

I am always seeking for answers.

but the truth? I do not see.

 

The fight is never ending.

but...has the battle begun?

 

Where are the footsteps marching into battle?

I see no marks of the fight within!

 

I am a fraud!

I am a liar!

 

I love not myself and

-therefore- not another.

 

My fight is external.

When the war wages within.

 

I avoid! I manipulate!

I hide! And I cry!

 

I am my own war.

I, am my bloodiest battle.

The light shines from within 

when the battle is waged.

 

No -ONE- gives me light!

No -ONE- spares my pain!

-I- am my shield.

-My heart- will Reign!!
