Battle of Demons

It never ends..

There are times when I feel like I'm not good enough

Yeah, I may be like the moon when it goes through its phases

The look on yawls faces says it all

Everyone lied when they said they'd catch me if I fall

Fighting this battle of demons got me on the deep end

I'll depend on myself from here on out

No one ever heard me when I would scream and shout

Life can be hard especially when there's nights when I'm praying to God

When I feel like I'm lost I put my hand over my cross

I just want to be okay

Maybe someday I will but it's not today

My head is like a ticking bomb at any moment I'll ignite

Every day I have put up a fight and yet I still get asked to keep calm

I'm drowning in my own thoughts and it's so exhausting

Tides of war collide with what's left of my consciousness

Now I'm left with the feeling of numbness

I'm to blame for all of this...
