Internal Battle

Gene Kiernan
Sitting in the dark
It begins to take on a life of its own

The air thick with sorrow
As I gasp for a breathe

Unwelcomed thoughts enter my head
As I try to ignore the voices

Pushing these feeling down
Until they are buried deep inside myself

The demons fill my head
Without anyway to defend myself

Fighting an internal battle
As their army only grows

Loving life, fearing death
This motto becomes inverted

    Talking to someone...expressing feelings...writing poetry to release deep feelings....all good.
