The battle that lay within

She tried so hard to escape her reality
Sleepless night waging war against herself
Finding sweet release in poisons just enough to stop the pain
Pacifying her demons for a moments silenced release
She wished so hard to dwell in dreams forgetting nightmares reside there too
Pulling herself down with every failure
The hatred in her soul grew
She danced with the lady in the silver dress
Chased the dragon till mornings light
All the time falling deeper into loathing
Fighting hard against her enemy only proved to break her more
Soon darkness over came her no hope for peace insight
She would loose her battle because it was herself she sought to fight
