Consistent Battle

Whispers in the quiet, trying to hold on

Fading in and out, before the dawn's gone

Caught in the ripple, lost in the tide

Searching for some peace but I can't seem to hide

Brief moments of calm, a fleeting breath

A whisper of clarity, then back to the chaos

Holding onto fragments, slipping through my hand

Battling the storm within, trying to understand

It’s not the sadness, or the rage I fight

It's the steady slip, the losing fight

Stuck in the cycle, trying to break free

But the resistance is all I see

This inconsistency’s my true enemy

Not the tears or the nights I can't sleep

It’s the shaky ground beneath my feet

Never knowing if I’m falling or if I’m complete

Moments of lucidity, just out of reach

Racing thoughts and the lessons I can't teach

A war inside, no medals for the pain

Worn thin by the struggle, aching in my brain

It’s not the sadness, or the rage I fight

It's the steady slip, the losing fight

Stuck in the cycle, trying to break free

But the resistance is all I see

This inconsistency’s my true enemy

Not the tears or the nights I can't sleep

It’s the shaky ground beneath my feet

Never knowing if I’m falling or if I’m complete

Can I find a way to stay, to stay steady?

Or am I destined to feel heavy?

Balancing on the edge of who I am

A fragile story, just trying to stand

Maybe one day I’ll find my ground

Until then, I’ll keep trying to stay somehow

It’s the fight within that never quits

My own shadow, my cracks and splits
