The Battle Within Me

A moment of silence
Please
For me
As life has took a turn
For the worst
But I'm still strong
Physically able to carry on
And mentally stable
To support not only I
But my mother whom
Looks up to her only son
For advice
As my father
Fights for his life
As the cancer
Threatens to take the happiness
I desperately try to hold
My relationships
Are in shambles
Yes relationships with an "s"
Why must I continue to talk
To different people of the opposite sex
Not just one
I can hold unto
But multiple
To share my pain with
Not to overload one
But to spread a piece to each
For my burdens
Are too much weight for one to hold
And I just couldn't
Bury one woman with all that
So some say I'm a cheat
But I'm so lost in my thoughts
That I don't care what anyone thinks
Or the woman I spend time with
I don't care what she declares
Because this battle is me
I wake up fighting demons daily
Negative thoughts trying to overpower me
But I find time
To reassure my good side
That everything will be alright
And one day that time will come
I will be able to....
Have a good night sleep
