Battling the Self

This never ending battle I fight
Every day, every night
Searching in the depths of my mind
Unsure what I’ll find
Trying desperately to destroy
An enemy, a decoy
I struggle with all my strength and might
A silent foe never in sight
I cry in pain and in confusion I weep
Slimily its roots sink deep
Unchecked they reach into my core
I chop them off, I go to war
Someday I’ll be free of the pain they inflict
Someday I’ll win this inner conflict
