If only
Day after day I’m wrestling with my inner demons.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.

You'll reach your breaking point, as with any demon. Eventually you won't stand for it anymore. Keep fighting.
