A Battle With Yourself

By Afiya HussainPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

They say you should be afraid of the dark,

I say you should be afraid of being alone.

They say past midnight you shouldn’t walk through a park,

I say you shouldn’t be up at 2 AM with your thoughts that hit you like a stone.

The battle with yourself is the hardest battle to come across.

Your mind is the land of war.

The voice in your head is the bomb.

And the insanity of the result of it all, is just the beginning of war.

A war that will never end because you are fighting with yourself everyday.

A war that feels like it is killing you slowly day by day.

A war where you are losing your loved ones in every way.

A war were you feel like you just simply cannot win.

The battle with myself is the battle which I soon wish would one day end.

Please, any kind of help can someone send?
