The Battle within

by Virginia   Aug 26, 2005


Something just isn't right,
it gets more violent with each passing night,
I'm so afraid yet so prepared,
Take me down to your hidden lair,
Not the place, but the state of mind,
The one I'm taken to, whenever I feel the knife,
There you are demon of night,
dragging me with all your might,
Trying to take me under,
Luring me with your demon thunder.
I cant give in,
I wont let you win,
Ill run away and hide in the shadows,
I get stronger with each failed battle,
I learn from my mistakes,
I learn not to cry until I'm drowning in their lakes,
I learned to hold it all in with each gasp for air,
But every night, i see you still, pure terror,
I need you, yet, i need to get away,
I do not need this everyday,
It weighs me down and I'm ashamed,
The demon of self-harm that bears this name

    Also, hehe- Is it just you bearing what comes? If so, you shouldnt forse this upon yourself, life is made to be lived day by day, not to just throw it all away with pure resentment. Dont get me wrong, i understand the title. "The battle within", but sometimes people talk about something thats within, thats not so within really. I know i do so.

    Usually reading the first stanza of poems, you wouldnt want to read that specific poem any longer. But not yours, yours makes you read it with its intense wording,and structure. It was very good indeed. Might i ask who this person is that lingers your defeat? Is it your father, or is it some other type of person? You dont have to tell me. It was a 5 out of 5.
