Keep Fighting
WARN: This poem talks about self-harm. Please do not read if you are not in the right headspace.
I can put on a brave face
Say I’m okay
Act like my cheery self
But once that curtain are drawn
And the lights go out
And everyone has left
............................................................
That's when my demons
Wants to come out and play
Play with my emotions
Causing me to pick up the blaze
............................................................
I say this will be the last time
Just another hundred times
Just another hundred scars
Showing the world
I keep fighting, fighting
Fighting to live
Keep fighting to take control
To take control of my demons
............................................................
This is an on going battle
Some days I will win
Some days I will lose
But I keep fighting
............................................................
I learned to hide my emotions
Keep everything inside
And take the blaze to my wrist
To take away the emotional pain
............................................................
I learned to turn the music up
Let it drown my sorrow
Let it drown my emotions
Let it comfort me to sleep
As the blood runs
Down my hand
As the tears keep falling
............................................................
As I say this will be the last time
Just another hundred times
Just another hundred scars
Showing the world
I keep fighting, fighting
Fighting to live
Keep fighting to take control
To take control of my demons
............................................................
This is an on going battle
Some days I will win
Some days I will lose
But I keep fighting
............................................................
I say this will be the last time
Just another hundred times
Just another hundred scars
Showing the world
I keep fighting, fighting
Fighting to live
Keep fighting to take control
To take control of my demons
............................................................
My skin is no longer
My punching bag
My life is no longer
Controlled by my demons
My body is no longer
My worse enemy
But, my science experiment
As I build myself up, up
............................................................
I will lift my own spirits
Be the butterfly that I am
I hold my own hand
I can show this world
That I am stronger
Then any demon thrown my way
............................................................
This is an on going battle
Some days I will win
Some days I will lose
But I keep fighting
