"Fight These Demons"

Fight these demons that plague my mind and run my life,
Invisible to all but me.
Anxious demons straining friendships and burdening relationships,
I love you, please don’t leave me…
This shit is not me!
Every day I fight a war with the one I see reflected in the mirror,
Though you might never know it.
The internal chaotic conflict rages me against myself,
Alone and stranded I try my best to
Fight these anxious demons.

I try my best to fight these anxious demons
But how do I fight something that leaves me so weak I can hardly get out of bed?
Do not count me weak or strike me to my knees.
Fighting these demons takes a special kind of strength.
‘Woe is me’ is something I will never say,
Take no pity, throw no party.
Just understand why I can’t come out some days,
And believe me when I say…
I fight these demons that plague my mind and run my life,
Invisible to all but me.

I am voiceless, I am powerless, the battle torturous
Anxious demons straining friendships, burdening relationships,
I love you, please don’t leave me…
This shit is not me!
Fighting these demons tooth and nail,
Screaming voices inside my head leaving my body in pain.
Crawling out of my skin feeling desperate and scared,
Sweating and trembling under attack again.
Fighting these demons that plague my mind and run my life,
Invisible to all but me.

I am just like you no better no worse,
Gifted with a burdening curse.
The internal chaotic conflict rages me against myself,
Alone and stranded I try my best to fight these anxious demons.
Wishing I could slip away somewhere far away,
To a place exorcized of these demons
Happy, free, and joyful, no longer voiceless or powerless,
Eternal peace and bliss…
Unconscious, finally able to feel alive.

Fighting these demons that plague my mind and run my life,
Invisible to all but me.
Every day I fight a war with the one reflected in the mirror,
Though you might never know it.
The internal chaotic conflict rages me against myself,
‘Woe is me’ is something I will never say,
Take no pity, throw no party.
Alone and stranded I try my best to fight these anxious demons.
I try my best to fight these demons of anxiety.
