Internal War
Silence always echoes
Walls forever confine
Time invariably passes
A world not of mine
A blindness lingers
Impedes the light
Shadows mislead
Reinforcing my plight
Stomach turns
Feeling nausea
Mind replays
Previous trauma
Tragic in moments
Isolated in grief
Pleading for mercy
Lacking relief
Sleep to escape
Yet dreaming resists
No solace resides
Where desperation exists
Progressing further
Increasing fears
A constant haunt
And terror rears
Darkness prevails
An unfathomed pain
Ominous power
Unyielding reign
Breathing not permitted
In this horrid place
Anticipation overpowers
Awaiting blows, I brace
Unrelenting nights
Impeding each day
Enduring this plague
No soul should obey
I know your combat secrets
Familiar to your rank
From previous encounters
I've come to know your flank
Finding strength within
I pull up to my feet
Internal war is waged
I will see your defeat
Walls forever confine
Time invariably passes
A world not of mine
A blindness lingers
Impedes the light
Shadows mislead
Reinforcing my plight
Stomach turns

hard to find a favorite part because its so good all the way through
its just kept building and building as if it was getting louder with intensity the more I read
you have total understanding of your internal battles great job...
