The War

Here I am still standing after my war

One I fought with myself within myself

One that left my mind scattered, body sore

One that broke me down and shattered my shell

This war in me was over emotion

A war to control my own destiny

I do not know what words I have spoken

My mind went dead but in reality

I knew what I had done, what would happen

I knew what I would do next, take control

I knew the thing taken must be action

So I opened my eyes, released my soul

I knew from now on it was my own life

Where I made the rules, and I could end strife
