B A T T L E.

I am on the edge of a war,
a fight between I and my shadow,
raging high like a lion's roar,
my hope for victory is very shallow.

I think I am winning the battle,
my fist is torn from it's impact on my face,
my own skin penetrated by my raffle,
this war is chasing me on a fast pace.

Missiles and bullet over my head,
fired from the guns inside my mind,
judged by the very words I've said,
I am about stabbing myself right from behind.

I am fierce at this war like an army,
My own knowledge fighting my ignorance,
realizing my own shadow is my worst enemy,
I am in battle, aiming to shoot myself at the faintest glance.

(This poem states that we war not against our brothers but ourselves, a war can not be fought without acceptance of the challenge)
