War with myself
I face my fears everyday
Creeping through crevices
Of my sacred guarded tower
Subduing me like a hypnotist
Appearing from the dark
With their forbidden enticements
I try looking away
So not to fall for their enchantments
Sneaking inside, they secretly surround
Tempting and twisting my thoughts
Into thinking that
They were everything I sought
I try to run, but there is no escape
I try to scream, but there is no help
Such is my fate
When I'm at war with myself
Creeping through crevices
Of my sacred guarded tower
Subduing me like a hypnotist
Appearing from the dark
With their forbidden enticements
I try looking away
So not to fall for their enchantments
Sneaking inside, they secretly surround
Tempting and twisting my thoughts
Into thinking that
They were everything I sought
I try to run, but there is no escape
I try to scream, but there is no help
Such is my fate
When I'm at war with myself

You summed up the similar feelings I have on those strange wobbly days.My greatest enemy is the desire to have it some other way than it is.I have no control over it and I'm afraid you don't either.
Terrific write.🙏

Thanks for sharing this message of hope and strength and courage for sure sometimes we are our worst enemy for sure it's necessary to understand that to can be changed by not over thinking that there is no escaping from the pain that seems to haunt you just maybe it's telling you that it's time to make a decision to change your way of thinking for only you can make things better in your own life and mind 🤔💪👍👊💯🪬 SHAMAN 🪬
