The Battle With Myself
I'm Just passing some time
Lost in this rhyme
While I grapple through my night
As the demons resurface
And attack me with purpose
While me and the past reunite
I choke on the smoke
From the fire they stoke
Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to stay
Lost in this rhyme
While I grapple through my night
As the demons resurface
And attack me with purpose
While me and the past reunite
I choke on the smoke
From the fire they stoke
Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to stay

Oh...how I can feel every drop of your anguish and pain...I am truly sorry you too suffer from the dreaded devil of PTSD. You penned it much more beautifully than I. Thanks for sharing your soul and journey. I am here if you should need a shoulder. 🥰 HUGS and LOVE ❤
