The Struggle From Within

The only battle we fight
is the one that leads us to our demise.
When we look up we realize
that there is no end with a prize.

It is the illusion that we create
to justify the amount it takes
to keep our heart from the break.

We stand our ground
anticipating the slightest sound
fighting the love from all around.

Staying in this shadow we pay
for our sins we are forced to stay
in this state of dismay.

It is pointless to pretend
let alone try to understand
what it is that makes a man.
