In my mind there is a war that most will never see,
I fight to stay above the waves,
Yet my thoughts are drowning me.
My heart says stay calm my dear,
But my head heeds not its advice,
Knowing that its will to live,
Just may not suffice.
It’s constant.
This game that they both play
I'm not sure who will win in the end,
But I don't have the upper hand today.
I feel the pain surround me like a thousand little thorns.
I'm desperate to hold on to me...
To some resemblance of the norm.
The smile that you see today is forced through broken, shattered teeth.
I put myself in auto pilot and I'm in here fighting to get free
So if you catch the single tear as it plummets down my cheek...
Remember that though I may look strong...
All of us are weak.
