The SIlent War

There’s an invisible battleground within
Constantly at war fighting for the win.
What’s at stake you ask? 
The most precious thing I have,
my soul.

A house divided against itself won’t prosper.
If I’m divided I’m conquered, right?
How do I keep the peace when I was born in chaos?
I’m a soldier fighting my predecessors’ loss!
A child of war I guess you could call me…
Maybe that’s why I keep self sabotaging?
I’ve grown comfortable in this war,
maybe I want to stay?
Maybe I don’t want the pain to go away?

You see depression and destruction have become my close friends,
for this war is lonely, do I really want it to end?
I’ve sat in silence,
watching the violence,

I think it’s time for me to step in.
The enemy may have taken my mind captive,
but I refuse to quit!
Because even in death I still have my spirit!
