Battles Within

Caught in the whirlwind, trying to stand tall

Battles in my mind make me stumble and fall

Wishing for normal, a simple routine

But shadows and chaos intervene

Morning hits, alarm bells ring loud

Focus slips away, lost in the crowd

Mind racing, thoughts flicker and fray

Trying to hold on, just one more day

Dreaming of stability, a steady pace

But my memories and thoughts leave no trace

Longing for calm, a peaceful mind

To just work normal, leave fears behind

Struggling to keep a job, fighting the doubts

Living with the storms inside, trying not to shout

Wishing I could fit in, be just like the rest

But my mind’s a battlefield, feeling unrest

Every deadline feels like a mountain high

My past shadows cast doubts I can't deny

Seeking some peace, a break from the fight

Hoping one day I’ll find my light

Maybe someday, a way to heal

Find a place where I can truly feel

Until then, I’ll keep trying my best

Keep fighting the storm inside my chest
