An Unopened Book
My Constant Struggle
My Constant Struggle
Most people don't know how everyday I suffer.
A constant struggle within my own mind.
To gather every ounce of courage I can find
To give myself a moment to bring myself up.
Tell myself don't you ever give in, it's never enough.
Sometimes I feel like my mind has abandoned me.
Leaving only a shell of who I know need to be.
Broken minded, broken hearted; I just exist.
All the simple things, seem so hard to deal with.
Talking to people, walking here among them.
It doesn't matter how much in myself truly believe,
a simple thought can make it hard to breathe.
A crowded voice filled room can overwhelm my mind.
But, I know I can defeat it each and every time.
I tell myself each morning to day is a better one.
Just get out of bed stand tall, go and get it done.
It would be so easy just to give up, just give in.
so easy for just this once, to let my mind win.
Somewhere in the back of my mind won't let go.
A encouraging thought that lifts up my soul.
Again I win over the fearful thoughts that mock me.
Put on a brave mask that the world can see.
I will fight it, I will defeat it, I will never give in.
That is how each day I know that I will win.
