They say battles waged in the head,
Are the hardest ones to fight
It's hard to feel proud when your energy
Depletes faster than a heartbeat
Eternal demons flash a mutated grin
As you struggle to breath
Their hands grasping tightly to your throat
You scream but only air escapes your
Strangled vocal cords
You realize your struggle isn't with yourself
But the things that live inside your mind
Fear, doubt, confusion all manifests as
Beings of unending torture
Fear whispers your deepest nightmares
Confusion screams your deadliest wishes
Doubt laughs at your face saying it's all lies
When you know the truth lies hidden between them
You hope sleep will wash away your sins
But you know they corrupt you at your weakest
Shifting, changing, mutating your dreams into reality
They beckon you to play, dancing inside your subconscious
It would be so easy to accept your demons
Knowing they are the closest
friends you will ever get
But you keep holding on and slowly
As if waking from a nightmare
Your breathing returns to normal
Those intrusive thoughts become a distant memory
The darkness recedes as your surroundings return
Yet you always sit and wonder
When the next time they will ask you to play
Because you realize your one step away
From succumbing to the darkness you've
Worked so hard to stay away from
